I make my christmas roast directly on the oven grates with a cookie sheet below to catch the drippings for gravy/yorkshire puddings. This method might not work for turkey though. Also I always pour drippings into a small saucepan rather than making the gravy in my roasting pan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842796 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 08:31:29 +0000 BUNBUN 2842796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Godmother, who cooks more turkeys than anyone I've ever met (1x month, at least) gave me her advice for my first Thanksgiving: "just use a disposable pan, life's too short!"</p> <p>And we made gravy in it, but had an electric stove at the time. I've also just poured/scraped the drippings into a pot to make the gravy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842794 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 08:27:12 +0000 Raspberry 2842794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Thanks for the recommendation which I will consider.</p> <p>Just to show everyone how expensive living in a Canada is, that same pan is $100 at BB&amp;B here! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842775 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 07:05:20 +0000 Littlebit7 2842775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: I’ve found in all scenarios that I can just pour and scrape off the drippings into another small saucepan and make a great gravy from all other roasting pans I’ve used (even the cheapie aluminum ones) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842774 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 07:01:58 +0000 peachykeen 2842774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Calphalon one that's about $40-50 that is very good quality and has help up well over the years.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Classic-Anodized-Roasting-Nonstick/dp/B0009W7EC6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1535716793&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=calphalon+roasting+pan" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Classic-Anodized-Roasting-Nonstick/dp/B0009W7EC6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1535716793&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=calphalon+roasting+pan</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842771 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 06:30:08 +0000 erinbaderin 2842771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: I would check Canadian Tire, they often have really great sales on stuff like this.

I have a condo kitchen and space is definitely a premium too!</p> <p>So mid-range, "branded" pans like Kitchenaid or Cuisinart are over $100 from what I've seen. I will check out Winners/Homesense (Canadian TJ Maxx as suggested).

That's where I got mine. Think it was $25-30. I always use an oven bag when making a turkey,its foolproof and keeps the pan easy to clean.</p> <p>I think you could get by with disposable pans but only if you have a solid, high quality cookie sheet. You dont want that bugger tipping on you!</p> <p>Like others, I find other uses for mine as well. Chex Mix, roasts, etc.</p> <p>ETA: USD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842717 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:44:53 +0000 Jennibenni 2842717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cheaper roasting pan, I think it was around $30 (US) and it has been great for my needs. Not sure the cost of the ones giving you sticker shock but it’s somerhing I use only 3-4 times a year and I’m glad I didn’t spend more than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842714 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:30:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2842714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a KitchenAid one that I bought on big sale at Canadian Tire, and I actually use it on a fairly regular basis - I make roasted tomato pasta sauce, granola, and Chex mix in it. I’d say it’s worth the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/roasting-pans#post-2842712 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:00:49 +0000 Sams Mom 2842712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use an electric roaster so my oven is freed up all day.

However, I'm experiencing sticker shock from looking at good roasting pans!</p> <p>Do you have one? Is it worth the investment if I'm only using it once or twice a year - even if it lasts for many years? Or should I just double up disposable pans on a cookie sheet and call it a day? </p>
