The shallow depth of this roasting pan exposes meat or poultry as much as possible to the dry heat of the oven, creating a beautifully browned crust or skin. Made of lightly-hammered copper, dishes can be taken directly from the oven to the table for stunning presentations. Do not pre-heat tin-lined copper, as overheating will cause tin to blister and melt. Use wood or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the finish. Hand-wash only. Made in Italy.
