Side by Side Comparison of: All-Clad vs Cuisinart

This is fabulous. It is very heavy, so if you put a large turkey or prime rib in it, you may need some assistance getting in out of the oven. I've used it for both a Prime Rib and, since we smoked our turkey, I used this for a huge pan of dressing. It was so easy to clean I just wanted to sit down and cry tears of joy. (If you've never cleaned a pan after cooking dressing, you can't relate. It's a great pan. All my other cookware is Cuisinart's Classic Chef. However, they don't make a pan like this so I decided on this. I still love my Cuisinart cookware but was very please with this roaster. It would be fabulous for a big pan of lasagna, too!

I'm on my second year of using this roasting pan and love it. I admit that I'm a big fan of All-Clad and this roasting pan did not disappoint. I've used it with and without the rack, for turkey, lamb and beef roasts and it has stood up to high temps and still cleans up like a breeze. Just recently I cooked a 15 lb. fresh turkey in it, that I splayed (slit the leg/thigh skin and flattened the legs down) and cooked without the rack and the turkey was perfect. I let it sear a bit before adding broth and wine - this pan is heavy enough to get a good sear without scorching. It's got some weight to it but that's what I want when cooking a big bird or roast. The easy clean it up is what really seals it for me. I love this pan.

The pan is a perfect size for roast chicken, rib roasts and brisket. It cooks evenly and cleans up easily. The shipping carton had been destroyed in delivery. However, the inner carton and, most important, the pan and rack were in perfect condition.

Okay, it's a bit big for a small roast for two. For a little 5 pound ham or roast beast or even a small chicken it's a bit of overkill. BUT for that 12 pound turkey? PERFECT! This thing will hold a 15# bird nicely, maybe 20# if you push it. UPS delivered it an hour ago and my wife sent me out to buy a bird, so you know what we're having on New Years day. I guess, to me, this pan is inspiring. This is a REAL roasting pan, not that crappy aluminum thing you get as an afterthought at the supermarket. I'm already thinking of roasts, vegetables, gravies. If it wasn't 9:30 p.m. I'd probably have the oven on!Build quality is excellent. This is a pan built to last a lifetime. And although I haven't tried it, the anodized nonstick looks and feels really, really good.I'll check back next year to tell you how it performs.Update: Awesome. A bit oversize for a small roast, as I said, but perfect for 12# bird. Cooks faster than I expected because of the rack and heavy metal pan circulating and radiating heat, so I've had to adjust for that. But it seems to save energy since the pan retains heat, the result is a much more even heat. Clean up is a breeze because of the annodized finish. Love it!

I just threw out several lesser quality pans.....this one is heavy, durable and best of all there is no coating to bubble off. Made a turkey the other dat roasted to perfection, pan was easy to grip and lift and it cleaned so easy...no scrubbing. Best Roaster I ever had!!!!!

We wanted a large and deeper roasting pan with good easy to lift out rack; I was tired to using throwaway aluminum pans when we cooked larger turkeys and roasts and then struggling to get them out of the oven without spilling or dropping. This pan worked beautifully: turkey cooked evenly, lifting rack is study and easy to use and I was able to use drippings to start gravy right in the pan. Seems to be typical All Clad quality at a surprisingly good price.

Perfect roasting pan for your Thanksgiving Turkey or Christmas Roast. Cleans up well, heavy gauge non-stick metal.

This pan is great for roasting a turkey or large meats. For more regular use like roasting vegetables it does a great job but takes up a lot of room in the oven and your storage cabinet due to the handles. I much prefer the all glad flat griddle plan for regular daily/weekly roasting. This

Finally. A quality roasting pan. Heavy and big but so easy to clean pan and rack. I am so over those disposable pans for turkey or prime rib. I deserve this!

This roasting pan really works out well. Both the pan and are easily cleaned. The price was good and Amazon shipped it quickly. I would suggest anybody looking for a good roasting pan to purchase it.

My only problem with this pan is that it would be nice to be able to adjust the rack, as with other pan racks. But it's otherwise easy to handle and roasts a nice chicken (and turkey!). :)

I wanted a roasting pan for a large turkey. This iron clad roaster easily handled our 25 pound turkey. When it came to clean up it cleaned very easily. I am very satisfied.

I finally bought a really good quality open roaster with a rack. Pan works like a dream, and cleans up with ease. However the teflon coated rack is already flaking and it is only 3 months old and has been only hand washed. I am going to have to contact All-Clad and have them send a replacement. Not sure if I just got a defective rack, or if this is a common problem. Pan itself is great, I have All-Clad stainless steel cookware, so I love the brand. One other thing, if you are not strong, this pan is VERY heavy when loaded up with a large turkey, big ham, or even a good sized beef roast, especially if you are reaching over a hot oven door. For anyone that has any hand or arm/shoulder disabilities this is not the pan for you.

Sadly, although this pan is very sturdy otherwise, one of the handles came loose shortly after purchase. This Thanksgiving, the handle fell off completely on its own, and we found it on the bottom of the oven when we were cooking our turkey. The pan is heavy, as was the turkey, and it was not easy to get it out of the oven safely. Its unfortunate, because otherwise the pan is strong and durable. I had hoped to have it for years. Per Amazon, the 30 day return policy leaves me with no options. I'll have to purchase another roasting pan elsewhere.

Pans seems to be good quality. Rack is HORRIBLE! Used ONE time and coating on rack disintegrated! SEVENTEEN areas of coating flaked off on first use. Have never sent anything back to Amazon but this one is going back!
