Granite Ware 3 lb. Capacity Covered Round Roaster, Speckled Black Enamel on Steel

Just right size for baking! Works great, easy to clean.

I asked my son and husband to pick up a small turkey for Thanksgiving. They came home with a 25-pound bird. I searched for large pans, but none of them had a reasonable price. I found this one, and the turkey fit in it, and the lid almost covered it completely. The cooked turkey turned out very tasty, and the cleanup was easy due to the coating.

I liked product and delivery

Haven’t cooked with this yet. Product appears well made and arrived undamaged. Roaster had oriented strand tape holding lid to pan. Difficult to remove. Had to use lighter fluid to remove all of tape and sticky residue. Same with glue for paper label on outside of pan. Not ideal to use petroleum products on cooking ware.

I bought this roaster to bake my sourdough bread in and it works perfectly!! I have been using my Dutch oven, which is great, but it is so heavy. This roaster is so much more manageable.

The roaster was bought as a replacement to the similar roaster that became weak on the bottom of the roaster due to overuse. It was nice to see that this same type of enamel roaster is available, as many do not have the same speckled finish, nor does it have a domed lid like this one. The size is the medium roaster that is perfect for baking a roast with vegetables. It is lightweight, and not bulky to lift out of the oven. The only flaw is that the rim around the lid is sharp and care must be used when wiping the lid.

I love this Dutch oven! It works like cast iron but is very light weight.

. . . not entirely with the same results as a Dutch oven or covered cast iron.The metal doesn’t hold the heat the same, and the results do differ. I mailed this to family that I was visiting so I’d be able to bake them the famous no-knead carb magic. The loaves were great, but not quite as fabulous as I make at home.They didn’t know the difference, I did. Not entirely sure what else one does with this — as I don’t eat meat, not a roaster, but I have this for backup. I’ll put it in the suitcase for my next visit, and be happy with that.Solid replacement, but not the same. Good for a budget and if you have poor arm strength.
