Roasting Pan & Roaster Guide Kenya: Sizes, Materials & Oven Use

A roasting pan needs enough space for hot air to circulate around food while still fitting comfortably in your oven.

What size roasting pan?

Measure your oven first. Allow clearance around the pan and consider handle width, not only the internal cooking area.

Cast iron roaster

Heavy cast iron holds heat well and is useful for deep browning and oven-to-table dishes. It is heavier to lift when full.

Stainless steel roaster

A lighter and versatile option. Quality construction helps minimise uneven heating.

Deep vs shallow roaster

Deep sides contain juices and larger casseroles. Shallower sides can encourage more browning and air circulation around roasts.

Can a roaster go on the stovetop?

Only if the manufacturer confirms the material and base are suitable. Do not assume every oven pan is hob-safe.
