I was looking at the points chart for the Pan-O-Rama & saw the roasting pan is professional....
Also at Conference they said professional cookware would be discontinued Jan.08...
Now I'm thinking, I wonder if they are going to improve the roasting pan & maybe have it as a host special......;)
 
The roasting pan is incredible - I think you will hear no complaints from anyone about it! My guess is that it won't be discontinued with the professional line. IMHO - it looks more like executive anyway. Perhaps the handles will change or something. I had not noticed that it was not part of the Pan-O-Rama. Could be why it is a half-price host special now, too!

It is part of the pan-o-rama - listed with the professional cookware. It was introduced before the executive but since it is always featured away from the lines there is confusion about where it belongs.
 
Sorry - was reading with one eye still asleep!

Oh! I missed that too!

Well, then I would BET it's being discontinued with the Professional. They purposely have only the pieces we can sell after March in the pan-o-rama.

Guess we know what piece of open stock will come out in March. LOL

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Ya Think???????/;)
 
What makes it like the Executive line is that it has the Autograph 2 coating on the inside....what makes it different is that the Autograph 2 is not on the outside, and it doesn't have the titanium lining.....I guess for roasting this is no big deal - but from the posts on this site, I would gather that people are using it just as much on the stove as in the oven.

I think the roasting pan is a half price special this season for the holidays. Who wouldn't love to have a great set at half price so they're ready to roast the holiday turkey, goose, or even Turducken. :)

It's a Southern thing. Deboned whole chicken inserted into a deboned whole duck, inserted into a deboned (except for thighs and legs) whole turkey. There are 3 different stuffings used, too, one in each "layer". The whole thing is roasted as a whole. It's pretty good, actually (my cousin got one mail-order for Christmas dinner 2 years ago).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a roasting pan used for?

A roasting pan is primarily used for roasting meats and vegetables in the oven. Its design allows for even heat distribution and provides ample space for larger cuts of meat, such as turkeys or roasts, while also accommodating vegetables and other side dishes.

What materials are roasting pans made from?

Roasting pans can be made from various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and non-stick coatings. Each material has its benefits, such as heat conductivity, durability, and ease of cleaning.

Can I use a roasting pan for baking?

Yes, you can use a roasting pan for baking, especially for recipes that require a larger surface area or for making sheet cakes. However, it's important to ensure that the pan is suitable for the specific temperature and type of baking you plan to do.

How do I clean and maintain my roasting pan?

To clean a roasting pan, it's best to let it cool before washing. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the surface. For stubborn stains or burnt-on food, soaking the pan or using a baking soda paste can help. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific care guidelines.

What size roasting pan should I buy?

The size of the roasting pan you should buy depends on your cooking needs. A standard size is typically around 16-20 inches long, which is suitable for most family meals. If you often cook for larger gatherings or special occasions, consider a larger pan to accommodate bigger roasts or multiple dishes.
