Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 11-Quart Roaster/Broiler - PARENT

I'll tell you the key feature of this roaster: it's self basting. Look closely at the large photo and you'll see little dimples in the lid. As the meat is roasting, liquid collects on dimples inside the lid, then falls in droplets on the meat, keeping it moist. It really works! No opening and closing the oven, fiddling with a baster, etc., with this piece of equipment.

The offset handles help the roaster fit into the oven better. The enamel is tough as well as beautiful to look at. The walls of the roaster are thick and strong, making those ordinary aluminum roasters look like tinfoil junk. And the quality of this piece is evident through and through. This one will last you a lifetime.

Without the lid, the bottom portion makes a good roasting pan, too, for those times when that's all you need. And yes, this roaster will take up lots of space in your dishwasher, but it cleans beautifully. Is running the dishwasher once to clean it such a large price to pay for a great, troublefree meal and an easy cleanup?

I won't tell you to buy this one, but I can honestly say that if you do you are likely to be quite pleased with it. I know we are!
