We’ve roasted over 400 pounds of turkey and chicken and 30 pounds of veggies in 14 pans over the past four years, and the Cuisinart 16″ Roasting Pan With Rack (MCP117-16BR) is still our favorite roasting pan. This roaster is equally great at searing on the stovetop and roasting in the oven. For a large, versatile, tri-ply, clad roasting pan with a rack, the Cuisinart is the best balance of performance and price we’ve found: It does the job as well as pans that cost twice as much or more.

Cuisinart 16″ Roasting Pan With Rack (MCP117-16BR)

The best roasting pan

With its sturdy tri-ply construction, this roaster cooks more evenly than other similarly priced pans.

We recommend

Anolon Tri-ply Clad Roaster with Nonstick Rack

A good roaster

This tri-ply roasting pan is a comparably priced option if our top pick is unavailable.

Another good choice

Granite Ware 19-inch Covered Oval Roaster (F0510)

For occasional roasting

If you just need something to throw the T-Day turkey into, this roaster does the job, but it can’t be used on the stove.

Budget friendly

Williams Sonoma All-Clad Stainless-Steel Flared Roaster

An exceptional roaster for a premium

If you can afford it, the All-Clad Flared Roaster does everything our main pick does, but better.
