Turkey Roasting Pans and Essential Thanksgiving Cookware

When cooking Thanksgiving dinner, having the right tools is just as important as having the right ingredients. Williams Sonoma carries an extensive selection of Thanksgiving cookware to make any dish, including quality turkey roasting pans for the perfect centerpiece. Get set to serve up all of your loved one's favorite foods and enjoy a delicious meal in good company.

Roasting Pans For All Your Needs

The roasting pan is the star of Thanksgiving prep. It needs to be large enough to accommodate the bird and crafted of quality materials that promote even and steady cooking. Our turkey roasting pans come in a wide range of materials to suit your cooking style, including aluminum, stainless steel, copper and cast iron. Important features like high sides help to reduce splattering, while upright handles make the pan easy to grasp and an interior rack elevates the turkey. A nonstick interior is also useful for making gravies.

If you prefer to use the grill for your smoked turkey recipe rather than the oven, then we also carry fantastic outdoor roasting pans from our collection of outdoor cooking tools. The large perforations in these specialized pans ensure a delightfully smokey flavor.

Other Oven Cookware Essentials

Since you will likely be using your oven to prepare a variety of other dishes, make sure you have all of the right bakeware for the job.

• Baking dishes: A must-have for making casseroles, lasagnas, vegetables and meat roasts, baking dishes come in a range of sizes, depths and materials for easy one-dish baking.
• Cocottes: Impress your guests with the stunning oven-to-table presentation of our charming pumpkin-shaped cocottes. They are great for baking individual portions of casseroles.
• Baking sheets: Combined with a basket-style rack that encourages heat circulation, a nonstick baking sheet makes a fantastic roasting pan for potatoes, vegetables, meat and poultry.

Stovetop Cookware For Every Cooking Task

A big part of any Thanksgiving meal is whipped up on the stovetop. Get ready to get those burners going under some quality stovetop cookware.

• Fry pans: A fry pan is a kitchen mainstay, ideal for browning and searing a range of different foods. Quality pans provide a generous surface and even heat retention.
• Dutch ovens: A versatile piece of cookware, Dutch ovens can be used both on the stovetop for making stews and browning meat as well as in the oven for slow braising and roasting.
• Stockpots: Cook up big batches of soups, stews and stocks in a wide and tall-sided stockpot. These large pots are also used for cooking pasta and canning vegetables.
• Saucepans: Taller, deeper and narrower than a fry pan, saucepans are a go-to for everything from simmering gravies and sauces to cooking vegetables and grains.
• Saute pans: A wide pan with tall sides, saute pans can be used for browning and searing, as well as for making stir-fries, risottos and pasta sauces. A lid locks in moisture after cooking.
• Grill pans: Get those desired grill marks by searing your steaks, seafood and vegetables on a grill pan. Elevating the food from fatty drippings makes for a healthier meal as well.
• Broiler pans: A broiler pan with a lift-off grill rack is also a great tool for healthier cooking. The drippings collect on the base below, which can be used separately as a baking pan as well.
