Yes. The 3-ply stainless steel base conducts heat evenly and produces the kind of caramelisation that makes roasted vegetables so delicious.The vented lid lets hot air circulate and steam escape, so the vegetables don't get soggy.

It absolutely can! Even with the lid on for the entire cook, pork roast comes out juicy with a crispy top just the way your family likes it. There's a few tricks — like starting the roast upside down — but the end result is a crackling that delivers a satisfying crunch.

As Sophie Hansen, five-times cookbook author, put it: "Yes, it's an investment. But once you start cooking with it, you get it, you love it, you use it daily."

For me, the value goes far beyond the roast itself.

It's the oven that stays as clean as when you started.
The even cooking without hot spots.
The sturdy moulded handles that feel secure in your hands.
And how often you'll reach for it.

Yes, it creates a beautiful roast. But it's just as useful for weeknight one-pan dinners, lasagne, fish, vegetables, desserts, and even bacon and French toast on the stovetop.

It's the pan you reach for again and again. Not just on Sunday.

Yes — the high-polish stainless steel finish is easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. Even burnt-on glaze washes off easily with a soft cloth if you soak the pan with warm water and dishwashing liquid.

The Ultimate Roaster measures 40 × 33 × 17.5 cm and is designed to fit a standard 60 cm oven while still being deep enough for large joints of meat, whole chickens and holiday roasts. The moulded handles make it easy to lift in and out without burning yourself.
