Achieve the perfect turkey, roasted meats and vegetables with the Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick Roasting Pan. Made of aluminum, the term anodized refers to the electrolytic process that the aluminum is exposed to in order to harden the aluminum itself and make it resistant to corrosion. The process also makes the aluminum harder than stainless steel making it durable enough to provide years of roasting for family gatherings. Aluminum has long been prized as an excellent conductor and distributor of heat, ensuring you'll achieve even and consistent cooking results each and every time. The interior is coated with a 3-layer nonstick coating system that makes clean up after cooking a breeze. The tall, straight sided walls accommodate a variety of different sized foods while minimizing splatter while the easy-to-grip copper handles make it easy to transfer the roaster from oven to counter with ease. The inverted copper handle shape allows the roaster to fit in a variety of ovens, even small ones with a little room to spare. The riveted copper handles add a touch of sophistication to the convenience and durability of the anodized aluminum body. To keep the roaster looking new and to extend the life of the nonstick surface, it's recommended to hand-wash with warm, soapy water.<br /><br />The angled rack is designed to slightly elevate ingredients to promote even cooking on all sides because achieving the perfect roast includes proper air circulation around the meat. The rack not only elevates the meat but also ensures that there is no need to reposition the meat during the cooking process. As the meat cooks low and slow for several hours, the fat from the meat slowly melts into the vegetables and other aromatics below, setting the stage of a luscious, flavorful gravy to compliment any dish. The handles built into the rack easily allows you to lift the meat out of the roaster while leaving the drippings and roasting vegetables in place. Take the roaster directly to the stovetop and use two burners to make gravy right in the roaster without dirtying up a second pan. As an added bonus, this roaster set includes a Viking German Stainless Steel Carving Set. The blade and fork are constructed from premium German steel. Includes an 8" Carving knife and 6.8" Carving fork to impress your guests as you carve the perfect meal.<br /><br />The interior cooking dimensions on the roaster are 16" x 13" x 3 1/3", the base diameter measures 15" x 12". The exterior dimensions of the roaster (without the rack) are 18.25" x 5.75" tall. The rack is 13.5" x 11-3/8" x 5.25".
