Johnson-Rose 16 Inch X 22 Inch X 3-1/2 Inch Steel Roasting Pan Review

This pan is perfect for those seeking to cram the largest possible roasting pan into a standard size oven.I searched and searched before settling on this very hefty pan - it will fit into your standard size oven. The pan has handles on each side which may need to be folded into the closed position in the oven, but I have two ranges and the pan barely fits snugly into both.Measure your oven dimensions first but this filled my available capacity beautifully.
As this pan has a high carbon content, you'll not only need to season the pan (turn off the smoke alarms!), but you'll also need to be sure it remains seasoned, forever more.
Using a cooks illustrated turkey recipe (requiring separating the legs, thighs, and breasts from the whole bird) I was able to crank out 5 20lb turkeys in short order using one roasting pan.Keep in mind, if you are preparing a gravy in the pan (as I was) there will be some discoloration to the drippings - compliments of the seasoned pan.Actually I found the darkening of the veggies and chicken broth below the bird beneficial.
I have used this pan several times (Thanksgiving and Christmas) and I must credit it for enabling me to provide more delicious turkey that ever.I cook for a crowd and this is the best pan I have utilized thus far.In fact, I plan to use this pan until I am dethroned form the turkey providing role (which I will likely assume for decades to come).
In the future (and out of cleaning laziness) I plan to stuff a few roasting pans into the pan so that I will not have to be so careful with the seasoned pan (and the rust that will form amazingly quickly if you do not keep the pan seasoned).
For the price I could not find a bigger, better pan for even 3X the price.
If price is no object, look for a stainless pan of the same dimension (good luck) - otherwise this is the pan that should have come with your oven.
