The Granite Ware Covered Rectanlge Roaster Holds up to a 25 lbs. poultry/roast. Lid works as a roaster too. It cooks faster and more evenly that other roasters. The handles are built to hold the weight of the bird much better than a flimsy, disposable, aluminum foil tray. It's a better value than stainless steel roaster. The porcelain on steel enamel surface is non-toxic and better for your health than non-stick chemical coatings.
