Made In Stainless Clad Roasting Pan vs Tramontina Prima 16.5 in Stainless Steel Deep Roasting Pan with Basting Grill and V-Rack
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Roasting Pans: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
Made In pairs fully clad 3-ply construction with a stainless rack, and Made In rates the pan to 600°F, so nothing in the kit limits your oven temperature. Tramontina gives you the same basic job, a heavy 18/10 stainless pan with a V-rack, for far less if you can live without cladding and a published stovetop rating.
Made In Stainless Clad Roasting Pan
Buy itA fully clad 3-ply roaster with a stainless rack, rated to 600°F and sized by Made In for a 24 lb turkey.
- 3-ply stainless clad construction spreads burner heat, so deglazing and building gravy in the pan is practical.
- The included rack is stainless steel and Made In rates the pan to 600°F, so no part of the kit caps your oven temperature.
- Handles are shaped so the pan can be sealed completely with foil, and Made In says it fits a 24 lb turkey.
- Heavy: Made In lists 3.90 kg for the pan and 4.54 kg with the rack before any food goes in.
- Handwash is preferred, and Made In tells you to heat and cool it slowly to prevent warping.
- At about 46.9 cm long including handles, it will not fit every small oven or sink.
Tramontina Prima 16.5 in Stainless Steel Deep Roasting Pan with Basting Grill and V-Rack
Buy itA deep 18/10 stainless roaster with a V-rack and a basting grill, oven-safe to 500°F and dishwasher-safe.
- 18/10 stainless steel body with riveted cast stainless handles, backed by a lifetime warranty.
- Comes with a V-rack for poultry and a basting grill for flatter cuts, so it covers more jobs out of the box.
- Oven-safe to 500°F and dishwasher-safe, which covers almost every home roasting recipe.
- Tramontina does not describe it as clad, so stovetop gravy needs more care than in the Made In.
- The page lists no cooktop compatibility at all, including induction.
- It was listed as backordered when we checked, which matters if you need it before a holiday.
