I love to prepare my roasts in my fry pan and finish cooking in the oven, but there are many situations when a roast pan comes in handy (for example, with a large roast for a party or turkey). Based on my experience, the most convenient size, which also fits into any oven, is 12” x 18″. But, if you like to sometimes bake super large birds (and your oven allows it), you may need an even bigger roast pan. Make sure that your roast pan has rims of at least 2″ high (or higher). If you are only using a roast pan, occasionally you can just buy a cheap version (for example, aluminum), but if you are using a roast pan all the time, you should consider investing in a stainless steel pan since it will last longer.
