Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Metallic Professional Roast 'N Broil Pan with Rack
Customer Review: I wanted to love this pan...
Summary: 1 Stars
I really really did. But after using it, I have to ask
Wassup with this "nonstick" coating??!!!
On the plus side:
-Perfect size for my two-person household
-The metal pan itself is obviously well-constructed, heavy-duty, and high quality.
On the minus side:
-This is the only minus, and it's a big one--enough for me to rate this pan 1 star. The nonstick surface is crap.
I've owned this pan less than three months. The first thing I made in it was a roast chicken, using the rack. Normal pan drippings on the bottom after use. The rack came clean easily, but the pan.... Oh, the pan! I tried cleaning the chicken gunk stuck on the bottom by hand, using Dawn dishwashing liquid on a soft dishcloth. Gunk still stuck. Finish was clearly stained. (This after filling the pan with plain warm water to sit while we ate dinner and cleaning it immediately after dinner.) Cleaned it a second time the same way, using the same soft dishcloth with Dawn only more forcefully. Some gunk still remained. Couldn't believe my eyes. Was that really food still stuck to it or stain? Ran a fingernail lightly over gunk on the inside side of the pan, and I do mean lightly, just to see if the gunk was really gunk or stain. Guess what? The "nonstick" finish came right off. (I'm still not sure whether it was gunk or stain, but at that point it didn't matter. Whatever it was came off along with the coating.)
So okay. I decided I could live with stains on the pan, and we wouldn't be ingesting food cooked directly on the small area of flaked nonstick coating on the inside pan wall.
Next time, I made a meatloaf. Same gunk, same cleaning method, more stains.
Last night, I made coated boneless chicken tenders. Came out great. This time I was ready for the cleaning drill. Used Dawn Power Dissolver, following the directions carefully. Sprayed the usual stuck-on gunk and let sit for ~30 minutes during dinner. (I know what you're thinking. No, I didn't spray it anywhere near the scratched surface mark on the pan wall, only the pan bottom with the still-intact but by-now heavily stained nonstick coating. DPD's label says not to use it on "scratched nonstick surfaces" which this wasn't.) When I went to rinse the pan to clean it, the nonstick coating came off in large clumps. I repeat: This was only from rinsing under the faucet. I hadn't even touched it.
I'm done. This pan is going back. I'll look for a Chicago Metallic roaster without "nonstick" coating, if they make one.
