Le Creuset Roasting Pan
Le Creuset Stainless Steel Roasting Pan with Rack
We love our favorite roasting pan for roasting turkeys and larger cuts of meat. But sometimes we want a more petite version for chickens, vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat. Small roasting pans and racks offer convenience and performance for everyday use that its larger counterpart just can't match.
Le Creuset Stainless Steel Roasting Pan with Rack
WINNER - RECOMMENDED
Although made from single-ply stainless steel, this durable, sturdy small roasting pan turned out beautiful, well-browned food. Its handles were a little smaller than we prefer but still reasonably easy to grip. Its V-shaped nonstick rack did a good job of holding the chicken, though it slipped around in the pan a tiny bit more than we would have liked. Note that this model has a slight indentation around the perimeter that serves as a mini grease trough; this can make it a little trickier to make gravy, and you’ll have to move roasting vegetables around a touch to brown them evenly.
We maintain strict objectivity in all testing.*

How We Tested Small Roasting Pans with Racks
We purchased five sets priced from $17.99 to $159.95, each with a pan about 14 inches long. While the exact capacities of the pans differed, the pans we chose were, on average, about half the size of our winning full-size pan; all were dishwasher-safe. We used the pans and racks to roast potatoes and whole chickens and to make gravy on the stovetop with the chicken drippings.
Winning Traits
- Large, comfortable handles, especially when you’re wearing oven mitts.
- Flat cooking surface makes for larger cooking surface area as well as easy cleanup.
- U-shaped racks help cradle a whole roast chicken, preventing it from rolling around during cooking.
