Perfecting Oven-Ready Roasts and More With an Induction Roasting Pan

As you round out the essential cookware for your kitchen, think about what pieces you need to make your favorite meats, veggies and casseroles in the oven. If you have an induction oven, you know you're getting quick heat transfer directly to your pans and pots as well as even, consistent cooking. Pair your induction oven with a durable induction roasting pan, which can be found in our roasting pans, roasting racks and roasting pan sets collection. Learn more about how these types of roasting pans can work for you and ensure you're getting deliciously cooked meals every time.

Functions and Features of an Induction Roasting Pan

Induction cooking means that electrical currents are responsible for heating up your pots and pans directly through a process known as magnetic induction. Featured induction roasting pans in our collection are made with a stainless-steel body and an aluminum core for durability and to ensure even heat conduction. You'll also find induction roasting pans made from enameled cast iron. Cast-iron pans are another ideal choice as they deliver optimal heat retention. Plus, cast-iron pans won't rust, chip or crack, and they hold up to general wear and tear, delivering long-lasting use in the kitchen. Also consider our Thermo-Clad™ options, designed to improve uniform heating without producing hot spots. The triple-layer design of several of our induction roasting pans ensures easy, effortless lifting of food without leaving food residue behind.

We carry several rectangular roasting pans with and without racks. Why are roasting racks so important? Because they allow meats, poultry and roasts to get plenty of air circulation. This is especially important for getting the right amount of heat all around your meat or poultry for even, thorough cooking. A roasting rack also helps drain excess grease from the meat or poultry and catch any fat drippings -- particularly useful when making sauces or gravies with it.

From our very own Williams Sonoma brand roasting pans to classic brands like Le Creuset, you'll find your favorite options with us. All roasting pans we carry are optimal for oven roasting meat and poultry, but they're also great for roasting vegetables and baking entrees like lasagna and casseroles. Thanks to a nonreactive cooking surface, these roasting pans are also ideal for deglazing on the stovetop, where you can easily make your favorite gravies and pan sauces.

High sides on our roasting pans help reduce food splattering over the sides, while upright handles make it easy for you to move the pan in and out of the oven while wearing oven mitts. Look for roasting pans with flared rims that make it easy for you to pour out liquid without worrying about pesky drips.

Other Bakeware Essentials

After you've chosen your induction roasting pan, consider other must-have items for cooking and baking, like our casserole dishes and baking dishes. Browse different materials, like stoneware, porcelain or cast iron. Choose a four-piece set or a covered baker. Casserole and baking dishes are great for making a variety of dishes, from savory mains to sides and baked desserts like fruit cobblers and crisps.

If you're looking for other induction cookware essentials to pair with your new roasting pan, explore our collection that features everything from large cooking sets to single saucepans, covered fry pans and double-handled skillets. Choose from materials like cast iron and nonstick stainless steel. Whatever your induction cooking needs, you'll find them with us at Williams Sonoma.
