Large Roasting Pan Appraisal

Nordic Ware Non-Stick Roasting Pan with Removable Rack

This is a rectangular roasting pan featuring a dark charcoal-colored non-stick coating over a heavy-duty aluminized steel or cast aluminum body. The item includes a matching removable wire roasting rack that fits inside the pan, designed with elevated handles for easy lifting and a grid structure to allow heat circulation around the food. The pan itself is equipped with two large, upright, stainless steel or cast aluminum riveted handles on the narrow sides, which show a bronzed or brushed metallic patina. Based on the construction and handle design, this appears to be a contemporary high-quality kitchen tool, likely produced within the last 10 to 20 years. The craftsmanship is evident in the secure double-rivet attachment points for the handles, ensuring structural integrity for heavy loads like a turkey or roast. Condition-wise, the item shows moderate signs of use; there are visible scuffs and minor scratches on the interior non-stick surface and along the edges of the wire rack where metal-on-metal contact occurs. There is slight discoloration on the handles, characteristic of heat exposure from oven use. No significant warping or deep chips in the coating are visible in the provided top-down view.
