Love my new Cuisinart 16-inch roaster.Did a pot roast with veggies and served it up for the fam and it's initiation.Worked beautifully, and is so easy to clean, just cannot recommend this enough !!!Thank You

Works great for roasting.

Like all things CUISINART, this item is superior. It is also large and sturdy enough for a turkey and will be a cookware to pass on to another generation.

Great

I was a bit disappointed when this arrived to find that the bottom is not flat; it bows up in a rectangle (intended, not bent) and is rather thin. Unfortunately, it’s too late to get a different one in time for Thanksgiving, and as I rarely roast anything big (once a year turkey), I’m keeping it. I used it to roast some turkey parts to make stock, and it worked fine, but I was planning a new way to roast turkey, which involves preheating the pan on top of a baking stone (America’s Test Kitchen) to get the legs cooked faster than the breast. I’m a bit concerned with how quickly it cooled off after roasting the turkey parts, and will hope that the radiant heat from the stone is good enough for this method. I wish the pictures in the post showed clearly the bottom; I would have looked for another one. The All-Clad was on sale when I ordered this, but it was still almost twice the price, and I didn’t feel I could justify for a once a year pan. Unfortunately, the All-Clad isn’t available in time😢

Haven't used yet, but love it so far. Will update later.

It doesn’t warp and it cook meats and vegetables to perfection. I wish I would have purchased this years ago
