Roasting pans have been my nemesis in the past so when Ethan from Food Bloggers of Canada approached me to review a Circulon® Roaster was a little leery.

WHY was I leery? Early on in my 20-year marriage, I received a hand-me-down midnight blue enamel-roasting pan. You know THAT pan! And the experience was horrible. From the uneven cooking, foreign burnt bits and the clean up. No matter how much I washed this roasting pan, it just never seemed to be cleaned.

After many frustrating experiences…it was donated to someone else to love or hate! 😜

In My Best Roast Turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner post I swear by the disposable aluminum roasting pans that will only set you back a few dollars. Easy clean up…recycling bin.

This is a great opportunity for readers and myself (hint: giveaway) and it would be foolish to pass it up. Circulon®, is a global leader and innovator in the hard anodized non-stick cookware segment since 1985. This is made possible by Circulon’s Total nonstick system, a patented hi-low circular groove technology that enhances non-stick durability. The system promotes a healthy lifestyle by delivering high performance food release without the need to cook with oils and fats.

I was given the choice between two different roasting pans. Both were non-stick. One included a roasting rack and the other was bright red and two pans. I decided to review the Circulon® Double Non-Stick Red Roaster.

A large package arrived but it was super light for the size. I was worried that the roasting pans would be “cheap”. DEAD WRONG!

It is beautifully constructed with sturdy handles, non-stick with these interesting ridges built into the bottom of each pan. One pan is deeper than the other and the ridges are different configurations in each pan.

This unique cooking surface protects three layers of top quality DuPont Autograph® non-stick by reducing surface abrasion from cooking utensils, guaranteeing long-lasting nonstick that won’t scratch, stain or chip. Roaster pan is induction cooktop suitable, oven and dishwasher safe, and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Look at how PRETTY it is!

Since the pan arrived so close to Thanksgiving, I decided to jump feet first and use the deeper Circulon® roaster pan for our turkey dinner. Risky! I also decided not to use a roasting rack because the ridges in the bottom of the pan are for that and who wants another thing to wash after a long day of cooking. I placed my mirepoix for my gravy in the bottom of the pan and the bird on top.

Results were amazing. It definitely reduced my cooking time, as the constant heat from a “real” pan was much better than my alternative choice of an aluminum pan.

The best part was that all the brown bits, drippings and turkey goodness that were in the bottom of this amazing pan. And the non-stick coating was truly non-stick. Although it is not recommended, I did place the roasting pan at a medium-low setting on my gas burners and made my gravy. Clean up was a breeze.

The Circulon® Roaster pan has been in full use in my kitchen. Here are some pictures of the recent dinners using the shallower Circulon® Roaster.
