Demeyere Stainless Steel Roasting Pan with Rack
Our Demeyere roasting pan delivers professional-grade performance for everything from holiday turkeys to weeknight vegetables. Crafted from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel, this roasting pan distributes heat evenly across the entire cooking surface, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven browning.
The included stainless steel rack elevates roasts above drippings for all-around air circulation and perfect crisping, while the pan's generous depth makes it ideal for braising and baking. Welded stay-cool handles provide a secure grip even when transferring heavy roasts from oven to countertop.

Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Construction
We engineer every Demeyere roasting pan from premium 18/10 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy that maintains its mirror finish through decades of use. The heavy-gauge construction—significantly thicker than standard roasting pans—prevents warping even under extreme oven temperatures and distributes heat uniformly from edge to edge.
This even heat distribution means your roast browns consistently on all sides, not just where hot spots occur. The nonreactive stainless steel surface won’t discolor acidic ingredients like wine-based deglazing liquids or tomato sauces, and it transitions seamlessly from oven to stovetop for making pan gravies. Our roasting pan pairs beautifully with other premium pieces in our cookware collections for complete kitchen coordination.
Roasting Rack Design & Functionality
The included roasting rack features a flat-bar construction with integrated side handles for easy lifting. This design elevates roasts 1.5 inches above the pan bottom, allowing hot air to circulate underneath for even cooking and crispy skin on poultry.
Drippings collect in the pan below, where they concentrate into flavorful fond without burning—perfect for deglazing into rich pan sauces and gravies. The rack’s stainless steel construction matches the pan’s durability and cleans just as easily in the dishwasher.
Sizing & Capacity Guide
Our Demeyere roasting pan measures 16 x 13 inches across the cooking surface with 2.75-inch-high sides. This generous capacity handles turkeys and roasts up to 25 pounds, making it ideal for holiday entertaining and large family gatherings.
The pan’s footprint fits standard residential ovens while maximizing usable cooking space. For smaller roasts or everyday cooking, the pan’s size advantage remains—vegetables spread in a single layer for better caramelization, and casseroles have room to bubble without overflowing.

Roasting Pan Questions
The 16 x 13-inch cooking surface accommodates turkeys and roasts up to 25 pounds comfortably. The 2.75-inch depth provides clearance for large birds while still fitting in standard residential ovens.
For reference, a 20-pound turkey fits with 2-3 inches of clearance on all sides, allowing hot air to circulate freely for even roasting.
Yes, the Demeyere roasting pan works on all cooktop types including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. The heavy-gauge stainless steel base contains magnetic properties that respond efficiently to induction heating.
The flat bottom makes full contact with induction burners for optimal heat transfer. This stovetop compatibility lets you sear meat before roasting or make gravy directly in the pan after cooking.
Both the roasting pan and rack are fully dishwasher-safe. The 18/10 stainless steel construction withstands repeated dishwasher cycles without discoloration or corrosion.
For heavily soiled pans with baked-on residue, we recommend soaking in warm soapy water for 20-30 minutes before washing. Bar Keeper's Friend removes any stubborn stains or discoloration that develop from high-heat roasting.
Our Silvinox electrochemical treatment removes iron and impurities from the stainless steel surface, creating a pure silver-white finish that resists fingerprints and discoloration. This treatment makes the pan easier to clean and maintain without special polishing products.
The Silvinox surface stays brighter longer than untreated stainless steel, maintaining its mirror finish through years of roasting and cleaning. The treatment doesn't wear off because it alters the steel's surface composition rather than applying a coating.
Yes, the Demeyere roasting pan withstands temperatures up to 600°F, making it safe for broiler use. This high temperature tolerance lets you finish roasts with direct broiler heat for extra browning and crisping.
The welded handles stay cool enough to grip with oven mitts even at high temperatures. Many cooks use the broiler function to crisp turkey skin or caramelize vegetable tops during the final minutes of cooking.
The roasting rack features integrated side handles that extend beyond the rack edges for easy gripping. These handles let you lift the rack and roast together, transferring meat to a cutting board while leaving drippings in the pan for gravy.
We recommend using two sets of oven mitts or kitchen towels for secure handling of heavy roasts. The rack's flat-bar construction provides rigid support that doesn't flex under weight.
No, 18/10 stainless steel is completely nonreactive with acidic ingredients. You can safely deglaze with wine, add tomato-based sauces, or use citrus marinades without any metallic taste transfer or discoloration.
This nonreactive quality makes stainless steel ideal for creating pan sauces and gravies directly in the roasting pan after cooking. Unlike aluminum or reactive metals, stainless steel won't affect the flavor or color of your sauces.
