Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Design 13-1/2-Quart Covered Oval RoasterCustomer Review: I Love This Roaster Summary: 5 Stars
My grandmother has a cast aluminum roaster and I have always admired it. I wanted to roast a turkey this year, so I looked for a roaster at the usual places, and couldn't fine a single one. I found this brand of roaster on Amazon, and I decided on the 13.5 Quart since it holds up to a 22 pound bird. This size will always be large enough for me, since after buying this, I have looked and have never found a turkey at the store larger than 18 pounds. This roaster is makes a wonderful turkey. I took the turkey out, and made drop dumplings in the roaster. I boiled the broth on the stove top, and this roaster was really nice for that application, also.
Description of Chef's Design 13-1/2-Quart Covered Oval RoasterCovered Oval Roaster This 16-1/2-inch-long, oval roaster is extremely versatile and can cook up a wide selection of large roasts and meals for entertaining. As with cookware from earlier eras, this roaster is constructed of heavy and sturdy cast aluminum, which is a marvelous conductor of heat for fast and even cooking. The exterior is brushed and has an elegant silvery finish that makes it spectacular for serving as well as cooking. With the cover off, this heirloom-quality pan roasts a huge turkey or roast beef. However, the roaster also has deep, 5-inch sides and a dome-shaped cover, making it ideal for braising meat dishes, such as short ribs with noodles, steaming numerous fish fillets, or poaching salmon. The domed cover plays a large role in the success of these moist-heat cooking methods as it keeps moisture from escaping and encourages self-basting of meats. Additionally, the roaster is completely safe for using on the range top on low to medium heat so meats can be browned and roasted in one pan. Two amply sized 1-1/2-inch tab handles on either side of the roaster are oven-safe and ensure a secure hold on this substantially weighted piece when lifting it out of the oven or bringing it to the table. The riveted stainless-steel handle on the top of the lid conveniently stays cool under high heats. This roaster comes with an anodized aluminum meat rack (which is really more like a trivet) that lifts roasts just a tad above the bottom of the cookware. To enjoy extended use with this roaster, the manufacturer recommends washing it by hand and occasionally polishing the exterior and discourages the use of knives or electric beaters, which could damage the interior. The limited warranty on this product is offered by Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry for a period of 50 years. --Cristina Vaamonde
