Roasting Pans

25 products

Roasting pans go into the oven for roasts, poultry, lasagna and sheet-style bakes, running from small bake-and-roast pans up to large banquet-size roasters.

This collection includes aluminum roaster tops and bottoms with straps or handles, stainless steel and tri-ply bake and roast pans, large oven-to-rack teflon-coated roasting trays, and enamelled colour roasters built for tabletop presentation. It sits in Pots & Pans.

Types of roasting pans

  • Aluminum roaster tops and bottoms: lightweight pans with straps or riveted handles, from smaller bake-and-roast sizes up to large banquet roasters.
  • Stainless steel and tri-ply roasting pans: a heavier build that resists warping and holds up to daily scrubbing.
  • Large oven-to-rack roasting trays: coated trays sized for combi ovens and high-volume roasting.
  • Enamelled colour roasters: rectangular enamelled pans in several colours for dishes that go from the oven straight to the table or buffet.

What to consider when choosing a roasting pan

  • Capacity vs. oven size: check a large roaster’s dimensions against your oven’s interior before ordering.
  • Material: aluminum heats and cools quickly and is lighter to carry; stainless steel and tri-ply construction resist warping under repeated high heat.
  • Handles vs. straps: riveted handles are easier to grip with mitts; strap-style handles fold flat for stacking when not in use.
  • Tabletop use: choose an enamelled colour roaster when the pan itself will be seen at the table or buffet.

Roasting pan FAQs

Aluminum or stainless steel roasting pan?

Aluminum is lighter and heats faster, which suits high-turnover roasting. Stainless steel and tri-ply pans resist warping better under repeated high heat and daily scrubbing.

What size roasting pan do I need?

Measure your oven’s interior first, then size the pan to your largest typical batch, leaving clearance on all sides for air to circulate.

What is a tri-ply roasting pan?

Tri-ply pans sandwich a conductive core between layers of stainless steel, which spreads heat more evenly than single-layer stainless steel.

Can a roasting pan go straight to the buffet?

The enamelled colour roasters in this collection are built for that; plain aluminum and stainless steel roasters are intended for the oven and kitchen rather than front-of-house presentation.
