Granite Ware 13-inch Covered Oval Roaster

A closer look at your choice.

The 13-inch oval shape gives a smaller meal its own cooking space. A matching domed lid lets you follow recipes that alternate covered and uncovered cooking, while the enameled steel body keeps the familiar speckled finish inside and out. Choose this size when a larger holiday pan would leave too much empty space around the food. The stated seven-pound capacity is a guide; the shape and height of your roast still need to fit beneath the lid.

For a chicken supper, check that the bird sits below the lid and that vegetables fit without piling onto it. For bread, follow a recipe suited to a covered enamel vessel and the care instructions supplied with the pan.

Covered or uncovered, by recipe

The lid gives you a second way to manage a recipe, but browning and doneness still depend on the food, temperature and cooking method. Use an appropriate food thermometer rather than judging readiness from the color of the enamel or the outside of a roast.
