A roasting pan is a piece of cookware used for roasting meat in an oven, either with or without vegetables or other ingredients.
A roasting pan may be used with a rack that sits inside the pan and lets the meat sit above the fat and juice drippings.
A shallow roasting pan is normally used for roasting small cuts of meat, but large-size roasting pans are also used for cooking large poultry such as turkey or goose, or for larger cuts of meat. A deep roasting pan can hold vegetables and other ingredients that meat can sit on rather than a rack, letting the vegetables absorb the fat and juice from the meat while cooking.
