Bayou Classic 7470 19.5-in Cast Iron Rectangular Roasting Pan Perfect For Roasting Pan Frying and Baking

Great roasting pan. Seasoned a few times and now perfectly non-stick.

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. Made on outdoor grill. For size reference those are medium lemons. The shrimp are four pounds of 13-15 size “colossal.”

I use my grill A LOT, and when I saw this pan I had to have it to make chicken in! I knew it was going to be large when I ordered it, but when I got it I was surprised just how large it was. I can easily put three chickens in it (and depending on size I have squeezed 4 whole chickens into this!) It evenly disburses the heat so that the chickens can roast nicely over low heat for hours without me worrying about the bottoms of the burning. I have used it on the top rack of my grill (yes, it is a LARGE grill LOL) over high heat to make an awesome crusty bread, I have used it in my conventional oven to make huge pans of corn bread and it has lived up to my expectations every time I have used it. The Cons: It is LARGE! This is also one of the pros of this pan - and the specific reason I purchased it. No lid - I would have LOVED LOVED LOVED a huge domed lid - I just wonder if anyone could have lifted it then! Storage - you really need to think about where you are going to store this pan because it is approximately the size of a half sheet cake pan. I actually ended up putting to large nails into a wall in my pantry and I hang it instead of trying to find room in my cabinets. The Pros: It is LARGE! Easily cooks 3 whole chickens with room for all that nice hot air to circulate and make them deliciously browned. It's cast iron! Built to last, this pan will be something my son and his family will want when I am gone - and it will be just as wonderful then as it is now! The best thing about cast iron is how evenly it cooks, how durable it is over high heat, and how easily it cleans up - if you are thinking about getting this pan think no more, jump in and do it! You'll love it!

This is a great pan! I use it on my camp stove for most everything. Will fit on most double burner stoves. Measure the width of your burners to be sure they will fit under the pan as the burner flames could go outside the pan if they are too far apart. If the burners are too far apart, buy a new stove! This is the widest high sided heavy duty cast iron pan I could find. Some people complained that the handles of the pan get hot. Really? That's why you buy cast iron. Use hot pads or gloves. A no brainer. Cook up bacon or sausage perfectly and then pour off some of the grease, add onions, bell peppers, precooked potatoes and any other you favorite additions for the best potatoes. Move potatoes to one side of the pan with the meat and turn heat off that side and fry your eggs on the other. They will stay warm with the heat off on one side. When all done just add water only and scrape with plastic spatula to clean. DO NOT use dish soap, water only ! Dry completely then wipe down with oil and your ready for the next time you use it. Be sure to store it in a dry place. Only one pan to clean !! It's so easy !! Be sure to scrub your pan when you get it with soap, green scrubbie and hot water(this time only!) then coat ALL surfaces with grease or oil then bake in over or bbq at 300'F for an hour. Repeat this process two to three times before using to season it properly before you ever put food into it! Heavy duty pan with high side and built strong. Worth every penny!

Only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is it does warp a small amount hen it gets very hot. If it were thicker everyone would complain how it would be to heavy. So a fair trade off I suppose. It does work well. I fry bacon and bake in it. The deep sides keep the splatter mess to minimum.

I know it’s costly for a pan, but it’s worth it. Nice quality. I love cooking on cast iron. Its cleaner, no chemicals leaching from the cookware . This pan is my go to for everything I cook on the top of my stove. I can cook a big mean all the chicken cutlets fit all at once . Lots of pan cakes, eggs for 6 sunny side up, all at once ! And bacon ! I just love this pan . Worth it .

It was just as described. I used it to fry funnel cakes at an event. I was able to get 3, 6 inch funnel cakes into the pan no problem.

I love this roasting pan. I needed a large roasting pan and this one (19 inch) will work well. However, the pan with the handles measures 23 inches wide and is a bit too wide for my oven. So, I will be taking some of the width off of the handles. I am looking forward to some roasting and gravy making.

This is a big baking dish that works in the oven, on the gas or electric range, on the grill, and over a fire. I purchased it because I have a big family and it fits my needs perfectly
