Can I use my Roasting Pan on the Stovetop?

Yes, with a mindful approach! If you have just pulled your Roasting Pan out of the hot oven and want to deglaze the pan to make a sauce or gravy on the stove, this will likely be okay as the metal is already hot and evenly expanded – so long as you use a low heat and your biggest element. However, if you are putting a cold Roasting Pan on a hot stovetop (particularly where the element is small), it could result in uneven movement in the base. If you have a large element option on your stove and pre-heat on a very low setting, you may find it's okay. Please note, warping is not covered under the Solidteknics warranty.

The heat on a stovetop is concentrated to the shape and size of the element, and often contains hot spots. An oven, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem. In an oven cooking environment (which also includes over the fire and in a BBQ or pizza oven), the heat is evenly applied to the Roasting Pan from all angles, which allows the entire pan to heat up and the metal to expand at an even rate.

When cooking on a stovetop, the heat is concentrated to the base of the pan. We always recommend appropriately matching the size of your burner, to the size of your pan, to ensure even heating. If the element is smaller than the pan's base (which would often be the case with our Roasting Pans given their large base), and care isn't taken to heat the pan slowly to allow the steel to expand and the heat to disperse, it could cause uneven movement in the base. This is why we've generally steered away from recommending them for stovetop use. However, if you have a large enough element and take care to heat slowly, then it's unlikely to be an issue.

With all that said, it's your pan - use it how it best serves you. Just keep the above in mind. ❤️
