Cooks Standard Classic 16 x 13 Inch Stainless Steel Roaster Pan with V-Shaped Rack — Large Capacity, Oven-Safe

The Cooks Standard Classic 16 x 13 inch stainless steel roaster is a heavy-gauge, large-capacity roasting pan with a V-shaped rack designed for even browning and easy roasting of poultry, roasts, and vegetables.

This rectangular roaster combines durable 18/10 heavy-gauge stainless steel construction with a low-profile, flat-bottom shape that works in ovens and on most stovetops. The included V-shaped stainless steel rack lifts food to promote airflow and faster browning while collecting pan liquids for sauces and gravies. Large interior dimensions and deep, riveted handles make it a practical choice for holiday birds, batch meal prep, and family-sized casseroles.

How does the V-shaped rack improve roasting results?

The V-shaped rack keeps meat elevated so hot air circulates evenly around the piece, encouraging uniform color and efficient cooking. It also channels drippings to the pan base for pan sauces without letting food sit in excess fat.

• Elevates poultry and roasts for full airflow and consistent browning
• Channels liquids into the pan for easy sauce-making
• Creates extra space for root vegetables beneath the roast

What are the pan’s size and capacity details?

This roaster measures approximately 16 x 13 inches inside with a 3.5-inch depth, and edge-to-edge dimensions near 17 x 14 inches including the rim. The pan holds several quarts of liquid and accommodates large birds or multi-item roasts for entertaining or meal prep.

• Interior: 16 x 13 inches with 3.5-inch depth
• Edge-to-edge: roughly 17 x 14 inches; overall height with handles about 6.3 inches
• Large enough for a sizeable turkey, multiple roasts, or sheet-cake style bakes

Can I use this roaster on the stovetop and in the dishwasher?

The roaster’s flat bottom lets you transfer from stovetop to oven for searing then roasting, making it versatile for recipes that start on the range. Cleanup is straightforward because the stainless steel construction is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing keeps the finish brightest over time.

• Flat bottom suitable for gas, electric, glass, ceramic, and halogen surfaces
• Not compatible with induction cooktops
• Dishwasher-safe for convenient cleanup; hand washing recommended to preserve polish

How durable and heat-resistant is the pan?

Built from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel with riveted stainless handles, this roaster is made to withstand regular use and high oven temperatures. It is oven-safe up to around 500°F, making it suitable for most roasting and baking tasks without warping.

• 18/10 heavy-gauge stainless steel for even heat conduction
• Deep, riveted handles provide a secure grip when loaded
• Oven-safe to about 500°F and suitable for convection ovens

It’s especially useful for people who need a roomy pan for whole poultry, multi-item roasts, or oven-to-stovetop recipes and prefer the reliability of dishwasher-safe stainless steel.
