Granite Ware Round Covered Roaster, 3 lb - Speckled Black

I have a solar oven, and while I enjoy using it, it does take a little planning. When cooking with a sun oven, two main things matter: the size of the pot and the material and color of the cookware. This covered roaster checks both of those boxes. The size is spot on it fits in my oven like it was made for it. The dark enamel finish is also ideal. Black enamelware (Graniteware) absorbs sunlight and converts it to heat much better than shiny pans, which tend to reflect light and reduce efficiency. Glass will work, but in my experience it heats up a bit slower. I’ve always liked enamelware in general. It’s lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and holds up well over time. I’ve had this pan for almost two years now with zero issues. Pros: · Perfect size for a solar oven · Excellent heat absorption (black enamel) · Lightweight and easy to clean · Durable Cons: · None so far Bottom line: This has been a great pan and works exactly as expected. I would repurchase and would recommend.

PERFECT for LARGE (2.5lbs and up) Sourdough loaves. Highly recommend for Sourdough baking. Looking to replace all my cast iron with these. The best part is they are so so so much easier to clean then the cast iron pots🙌

I use these when bulk baking sourdough loaves and they are perfect! Such good style, and goes to show you can use these pans very versatile

I really wanted the 18 inch roaster but had to settle for the 15 inch as Amazon does not currently ship the 18 inch to my country. True to my estimate, the 15 inch is not large enough for my family of 5, which includes three always ravenous teen boys. I did manage to cram in 2 medium sized chickens (cut up) and 5 cups of raw rice for an oven baked chicken biryani that came out absolutely perfect, except that I actually needed to fit in 7 cups of rice but couldn't. So our meal was heavy on chicken but light on rice and left my family hungry for more. So Amazon, if you're reading this, PLEASE, I really need the 18 incher. I love that the roaster is truly non stick as the manufacturer claims, even without any scary looking non stick coating. Not a single grain of rice stuck on either the base or sides, so no hard scrubbing required at wash up. I love that the chicken was moist and flavourful while the rice grains were beautifully grainy and fluffy yet tender and moist. Really just perfect if you want to make any kind of chicken and rice casserole or all in one dish. I have to test it out with a roast poultry or meat dish next... I don't like that the metal is thin and the pot and lid do not have that reassuring heavy feel of those hefty old school roasters and casseroles. The edges of the lid and pot rims are left bare instead of being rolled in safely and being as thin as the metal is, if you're not careful whilst washing, you could cut yourself on those nasty edges. I also don't know how long this roaster will last, with the metal being so thin. I felt lucky that the roaster arrived without any dents, considering how thin it is and how ridiculously skimpy the padding inside the box was. Of course, if you're paying for international shipping, the lightness of the thin metal may not be such a bad thing ;) All in all though, the roaster performed well, and its friendly price is a big draw. I'm very happy with the performance even if the construction does not fully meet my expectations. Now, if only Amazon would send me that 18 inch beauty *sigh* REVIEW UPDATE, 5 FEBRUARY 2015 : I roasted two medium chickens in the roaster, yes, TWO whole chickens! Just a simple pepper, marjoram and garlic flavoured roast, with the lid on in a preheated 240 C (464 F) oven for the first 20 minutes then turned the oven down to 190 C (374 F) for the remaining 35 minutes of which the last 15 minutes of roasting was with the lid off to get a deeper browning. To summarise, total roasting time was 55 minutes start to finish, last 15 minutes with the lid off. The chickens were perfect! Tender, moist, with the unexpected bonus of the most delicious and effortless gravy at the bottom of the roaster. Amazingly, even without a rack in the roaster, my birds did not stick, so even the skin was perfectly intact, no rips or tears. Yay! I have a feeling I'm going to be using this baby a lot and I'm definitely not going to roast chicken any other way from now on. I'd love to upgrade this to a 5 star review, but those bare, sharp edges around the lid and pot rim just really bug me...

Love it for Cornish hen or a very small chicken or beef. Sturdy, light and what I needed for small dishes.

I love it

Perfect lid fits great just the right depth. Highly recommend

Pot Continues to arrive with chips, enamel missing. I have the same small Dutch oven that is five years old and it is still going strong without any chips, dents scratches, missing enamelware. I decided to buy another one as a back up because I found it to be such a great product. This is my third return because this pot continues to arrive with chips, enamelware missing, defective showing metal undercarriage. they also use a super heavy tape to tape the lid and pot together which can also result in pulling off enamel. I just don’t see where their quality control is coming from or obviously it looks like they don’t have any quality control . The company keeps sending out damaged products. I will wait and try to re-purchase later and if it arrives without any defects, I will be happy to change my rating to five stars. It’s a great product if it arrives in excellent working condition. Waiting… update August 2026 - ordered another enamelware roaster pot, hoping for an undamaged piece. It arrives in a bag, but the factory has sent out a pot that has enamelwear chips with enamel missing from the base rim and the top outer rim. Again, this is why it needs to be returned; “Why You Should Return It? Risk of Rust: Exposed iron or steel under the chip will rust when it touches water or food juices. More Chips May Pop Off: Heat makes metal expand. This can cause more enamel to break away near the damaged spot. Lost Value: A new item should not arrive damaged. You paid for a whole, safe product”. Why can’t the factory produce a properly glazed small roaster?!!

Lo uso para hacer pan de masa madre y todo perfecto

Love it, bakes my sourdough bread wonderfully.

The item had scratches inside.I don’t know how to edit a picture of it…

غير مطابق للمواصفات وحوافه حادة ومدببة كالسكين وملي بالخدوش تم اعادته

Exactly what I expected and roasts well
