I’ve never regretted listening to Ina Garten. Whether it’s an organizing tip , recipe suggestion, or cookware recommendation, she never leads me astray. So it should come as absolutely no surprise that when searching for a roasting pan, I looked to Ina.

And, wow, does this roasting pan deliver . It has very large, roomy handles that are a cinch to pick up even with bulky oven mitts on.

And while I’ve only used it, so far, for cooking a whole chicken and roasting a glut of eggplant from my garden, I’m really excited to try it out with my Thanksgiving turkey. I also have big plans to use it to roast a whole fish and make deep casseroles, like an extra-large lasagna.

And while the large roaster can fit a 20-pound turkey, there’s also a small roaster for $20 less, which accommodates a 15-pound bird. Now, let’s see how Ina makes her turkey …
