Our verdict

A cast iron roaster for cooks who want one pan that goes from stove to oven to table, including on induction. It is heavy, and the listing does not make clear that a lid is packed in.

Overview

Cuisinart builds this Chef's Classic pan from cast iron with a porcelain enamel exterior and interior in Cardinal Red. The material retains heat and spreads it evenly, and the rectangular shape suits roasts and baked pasta.

Enamel on both sides means no seasoning routine and no metallic taste carried into food. The pan moves from burner to oven to broiler, then straight to the table. Cast iron brings weight along with it, which makes lifting a full pan harder.

Who it's for

Cooks who braise, roast and bake in the same dish and serve at the table will use the finish as much as the performance. Anyone who struggles with heavy cookware, or who wants a roasting rack and lid, should look at a lighter pan or buy those separately.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Works on induction cooktops
  • Stovetop, oven and broiler safe
  • Enamel inside and out
  • Serves straight to the table
Cons
  • Heavy when filled
  • Lid inclusion unclear in the listing
  • Only one color shown for this model

Performance notes

Cast iron stores heat and releases it slowly, so the pan holds an even temperature through long roasts and bakes. Enamel on the cooking surface does not absorb odors or flavors, and the same coating makes cleanup easier. Because the pan is thick, it heats gradually rather than quickly.
