Summary: 5 Stars
From it's July 2005 issue:
"During our 1999 rating of roasting pans, we decided that the upright handles, roomy interior, and sturdiness of All-Clad's Stainless Steel Roti ($275) justified its hefty price. Since then, however, we've noticed that our top-rated pan has a tendency to warp slightly on the stovetop while browning roasts or deglazing fond. (The Roti lacks the clad construction-an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of steel-that makes other All-Clad cookware so reliable.) So when we saw that Calphalon's fully clad Contemporary Stainless Roasting Pan features a similar design-and for a mere $100-we brought it in for the challenge.
To our delight, the Calphalon did not warp on the stovetop, and its lighter weight made it more responsive to burner adjustments than the All-Clad pan. This new Calphalon roasting pan has everything we want, including a reasonable price.
UPDATE: Our July/August Roasting Pan Update highlights Calphalon's Contemporary Stainless Roasting Pan ($100). In the past, this pan has been part of their Tri-Ply stainless line. Until the Tri-Ply Stainless inventory has run out, look for our favorite roaster under either of those Calphalon lines."
From JG: I like the fact that the top-rated non-stick rack is also incuded.
1/16/06: I see Amazon has virtually doubled the price. Now $199.
5/11/06: Bed, Bath & Beyond (along with others) has the Calphalon 'Contemporary' (same as the Tri-Ply) on sale at $99.95. Normally, you can also get a 20% off coupon from BB&B so this sounds like a good alternative.
Description of Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Collector's Edition 16-Inch Roaster with Rack
With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply Stainless pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. This beautiful roasting pan, polished to a mirror finish inside and out, measures 16 by 13 inches, ample for a 19- to 25-pound turkey, two chickens, or a massive prime rib. It's also great for baking lasagna or a party-size cake, and its handles are large enough to accommodate oven mitts. Accompanying the pan is a nonstick rack--with handles of its own--to lift food off the pan's bottom for all-around roasting and browning. The pan goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror finish, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred BrackAll Pans
