Before You Buy Roasting Pans from Mifflin

Roasting pans can fill many cooking needs. Not only for roasting a turkey, but a roaster can be used for many other succulent meals, hence, there are many roasting choices. Maybe you already have a pan, but would like something a little nicer to show off that luscious bird. Here's are a few tips and options to consider.

Economical & Practical - Granite Ware Covered Roasting Pans

You probably remember seeing your parents and grandparents use these for those memorable dinners. They are still around and one of the most economical, tried and true roasters. Available in different sizes, they clean very easily, are lightweight to handle and very durable. Covers nest upside down in the pans.

Easy to Store & Great for Serving - Open Roasting Pans

From the very showy 18/10 stainless steel, to enamel on steel or porcelain, aluminum, cast iron and carbon steel, these roasters can also double as serving trays. Available with non-stick coatings for ease of cleaning. Quality of construction and prices vary. These are very practical for roasts, poultry, entrees, large cakes and desserts. For poultry, ensure at least 3" high sides for meat juices to accumulate safely. Easy to clean & store.

Seal in Flavor - Covered Roasting Pans

These covered roasters are great for sealing in flavor, and have ample room for meat juices with no threat of overflowing. Varying greatly in quality and durability, they are available in stainless steel, enamel, porcelain, and carbon steel. Prices and styles vary considerably. Some have a removable rack, making it easy to transfer meat to a serving plate.

Slow Cooking & Portability - Electric Roaster Ovens

Not only do these seal in flavor, but slow cooking promotes a juicy, tender meal. Much like a large crockpot, they are practical for many large meal uses, and portable to the outside courtyard. Some have optional buffet serving inserts, adding to their features. Although prices vary depending on construction and features, they are very affordable. A little more cleaning time required.

Roasting Display - Portable Rotisseries

Not only does this model get everyone's appetite rolling, but also a great conversation piece - who wouldn't want to look to see how the turkey's coming. Poultry and roasts are rotated on spit, and other foods can be placed in a basket for the same effect. These are sure to be a delight to use. Portability is a great feature. However, more meat removal care is required, as is more cleaning time for this model. A little more pricey, but sure to be hit with the family.
