Roasters & Lasagna Pans

Roasters and Lasagna Pans from Abt

Whether your family holiday tradition involves roasting a whole turkey, a Tofurkey, or stacking a lasagna pan with flat noodles, ricotta cheese and tomato sauce, you’re going to need something to cook yours in. And if you’ve been using the same roaster for years (or even decades), you might want to take a closer look at yours. Over time, grease and grime can build up along the inside and outside of a lasagna pan. And while some might say the flavor of the ages resides in that ancient cooker, it might be time for a replacement. Find a shining heavy-duty model that’s perfect for your culinary needs at Abt, and get ready to make the next family meal amazing.

Noodles, Sauces & More: The Perfect Bake

Pull out Nonna’s recipe card or look up a recipe online to find the best mix for your lasagna pan. Whether you’re creating sauce from scratch or pouring yours out of a store-bought bottle, you’ll need to make sure you have enough space for food for everyone. That might look different for a family of three versus a family of seven, so plan accordingly. Keep your slices large with extra-big spatulas and knives, and your group of hungry eaters will thank you.

If you’re hoping to keep post-dinner labor to a minimum after all of that cooking, keep an eye out for a model that’s dishwasher safe. Some ceramic, porcelain and even stainless steel models are designed to ride in the dishwasher right alongside plates, forks, knives and glassware. Just make sure yours isn’t close to anything fragile—there’s a chance it could bump into something.

Roasters: For Primes Ribs, Turkeys, Hams & More

Meal preppers and party hosts alike know that a full-sized roaster is a necessity for any home chef. Instead of cooking small-sized dinners or ordering out too often, make your own gourmet bites in professional-grade roasters. With the help of elevated racks, these dishes are designed to keep meats (even large ones) on high heat, all while their fats and juices drip and drain into the bottom of the dish. That means that every inch, angle and curve gets perfectly cooked. Great for marinated meats and standing roasts, these are a must-have for any home. (And they make a great gift for new couples or anyone with a wedding registry).

Unlike lasagna pans, cleaning up these roasters is a different story. You’ll want to make sure you remove as much grease as possible before adding to the dishwasher if yours is dishwasher safe. Don’t forget to scour off any baked-on food either—those elements tend to stick around even after powerful hot water washing cycles. Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure that your lasagna pans and roasters will be around for years to come, lasting from one Thanksgiving to the next.
