Besides heat, air is the most important ingredient in a really good roast. For meat and vegetables to turn out crisp, they need good air circulation while they cook.

Our purpose-built vented stainless steel lid is designed around exactly that: it lets steam escape and hot air circulate, while containing fat and oil so it doesn't spatter your oven walls.

The result is a clean oven, a juicy roast, and crispy golden skin. All the joy of roast night without the mess.

It's one of the most common questions we get, and it's the exact problem Louise set out to solve when she started designing the Ultimate Roaster.

A single-vent lid lets a little steam escape, but moisture still drips back down onto the roast and stops the skin from crisping. Oven bags have the opposite problem, they hold all the steam in.

The vented spatter guard is designed to solve both at once: steam escapes properly and air keeps circulating all the way around the lid, which is what gives you a golden, crispy result while keeping every last spatter contained.

They crisp up beautifully. The tri-ply stainless steel base conducts heat evenly and produces the kind of caramelisation that makes roasted vegetables so good, and the vented lid lets hot air circulate and steam escape, so nothing gets soggy.

Because the Ultimate Roaster cooks with the lid on, it creates its own beautifully controlled roasting environment. The meat comes out juicier than in a standard roasting pan (our customers tell us this consistently) and the vegetables come out golden and crisp.

Especially when you follow these cooking tips.

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

And when the cooking is done, the pan cleans up easily, dishwasher safe, or a quick hand wash and it's back to new.

No rack needed. We recommend preheating the pan while the oven heats up, then starting the roast upside down for the first part of the cook to kickstart the browning, before turning it over to finish. It's one less thing to store, and one less thing to wash and store.
