Roasting Pan

A roasting pan is a large, deep dish typically made from metal, designed for cooking meats in the oven. It features low sides to allow for even heat circulation and often comes with a rack that lifts the meat above the bottom of the pan, allowing juices to collect underneath. This setup helps to brown the meat evenly and prevents it from stewing in its own juices. Roasting pans are essential for preparing larger cuts of meat, such as turkey or roast beef, and can also be used for vegetables and casseroles.
