Here’s a general rule of thumb for size requirements:
- A small roaster measures approximately 2 x 14 x 10 inches (D, L, W) and is good for turkeys up to 12 pounds (serves 4-5 people).
- A medium-sized pan measures 3 x 14-16 x 12 inches and comfortably accommodates turkeys up to 16 pounds (serves 6-10 people).
- A large pan has dimensions of 4 x 16-18 x 13 inches and works for turkeys up to 25 pounds (serves 10-20 people).
OVEN SIZE:
Interior oven measurements can vary greatly, particularly with apartment or space-saver models. And you want to ensure that lovely, new roaster you have your eye on will actually fit – before purchasing it!
Take a few minutes to measure your oven and compare the dimensions to the pan you’re looking at – and remember to include the length of the handles when measuring.
PAN SIZE:
When deciding what size to purchase, a few points should be considered:
Pans need to have the capacity to accommodate large items without touching the sides, and enough space to allow adequate air circulation for thorough roasting and browning.
