Customer Reviews of KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions 16-1/2-Inch Roaster with Rack
Customer Rating:   Summary: Bottom not flat, thinner than expected Comment: This is probably worth the price but I was quite disappointed to find that the bottom is not flat so it will not work on my flat-top stove for making sauces from the pan drippings. It is slightly indented with a slightly raised rim, therefore it does not make contact with the stove except at the edges. I'm sure this design was needed to add structural strength since overall the walls and bottom are quite thin (thinner than I expected) and would otherwise tend to warp. If you have a gas stove or a stove with raised burners, this would probably work fine. It is attractive and has a good rack. Customer Rating: Summary: You get what you pay for. Comment: After reading all the reviews I decided to get this roaster. And the people that said it is to thin are right. It is structurally ok and it looks nice. As far as just roasting goes it's great but any cooking on the bottom is very difficult not to burn. If it was thicker it would be more versatile. Customer Rating: Summary: Typical KitchenAide: Fantastic Comment: This gem is not only a really good roaster is it deep. You know how awful it is to have a full roaster only to have some of the juice to slosh over and ruin an otherwise enjoyable meal. Moreover, it usually happens when you have company. You have to be a super klutz like me to mess up with this one. Additionally, your company will think it is a super piece as well. Customer Rating: Summary: thickness not a problem at all! Comment: Having read other reviews I bought this with a little trepidation, wondering if this was going to be a lightweight , cheap product. COnsidering AMazon's great discount, and needing one in a hurry (credit Amazon's speedy delivery!) I bought it. I have NOT been disappointed! The pan is heavy enough to brown potatoes and veggies for roasting yet light enough to carry with a full load of a 17 lb turkey. Having tried it on my gas stove, I have had no probelms with hot spots or inadequate browning. The rack is conveniently placed, and also sturdy enough, with fold down handles. I would dedinitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good basic roasting pan. Worth every penny! Customer Rating: Summary: Great value, Great Function Comment: I purchased this item expecting that it would be a light to medium grade stainless steel pan, would be easy to clean up, and would produce well-browned even cooking results. I was very pleased, and feel it's a fabulous value and really good quality. I prepared a wonderful "kurobuta" pork roast, and finished a sauce on top of my stove from the pan juices. There were no hot spots in the pan at all, and after all was said and done, the pan was a breeze to clean - no scouring was even required! The rack was a pleasant surprise... it is very sturdy, and fits snugly in the pan - elevating contents at an appropriate height, but cradling them in a slightly rounded rack instead of a sharply angled "v" shaped rack. This allows for the liquids to evaporate evenly, coating the food being cooked well and keeping meats moist. I'm sure the All-Clad pan for almost 4 times the price would perform very well too, but this pan performs very well and is a tremendous value. More Reviews Thanksgiving just got one step easier. Finally, a roaster that is beautiful enough to go straight from the oven to your table. Made of quality 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror polish inside and out, this durable roaster has riveted handles for confident transfer out of the oven. A handled rack allows for easy removal of roast or turkey out of the pan; handles rotate up for easy access and then down for easy storage. Lifetime limited warranty. 
Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Washer When shopping for a new washer, look for a front loading (horizontal-axis) machine. This machine may cost more to buy but uses about a third of the energy and less water than a top-loading machine. With a front loader, you'll also save more on clothes drying, because they remove more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. Look for the Energy Star label. Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions 16-1/2-Inch Roaster with Rack
Kitchen tips -> Potatoes salad When cooking potatoes to use in potato salad, add a little vinegar to the water when boiling the potatoes. The vinegar causes the potatoes to form a thin crust, which helps them hold their shape |
