Better Basting For A More Beautiful Bird

A new, innovative roasting pan lets you baste that turkey faster, better and more easily. (NAPS)

(NAPSI)—This holiday season, making a marvelous meal for friends and family can be easier than ever with clever new cookware: a roasting pan with a concave bottom that naturally lets the juices pool to either side for safer, faster basting.

How It Works

There’s no need to lift and tilt the pan to force cooking juices to pool to one side for basting and the nonstick roasting rack is shorter than standard racks so there’s enough space for a basting spoon to fit. Because of this unique design, you don’t have to wait too long for the basting juices to start pooling. Within 30 minutes of popping your turkey in the oven, you can start basting and making a beautiful, golden bird.

The rack also has folding handles, so it’s easy to transfer food to a cutting board or serving platter. This 17” x 12” Quick-Baste Roaster from GoodCook brand of kitchenware is made of durable carbon steel with an easy-to-clean nonstick coating.
