The deciding specification is whether the maker publishes a full set of dimensions and whether those figures agree with its own copy.

“A published figure that matches the copy is worth more than a guess.”

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
The five picks all publish a length, a width, a height, and a weight, which is why they were chosen. The differences are in how much of that set the maker repeats in its own copy. The MICHELANGELO repeats 16.5 by 11.5 by 2.3 inches and adds an interior set. The Glad gives a second set excluding handles. The Circulon and Farberware publish a single set.
The weights range from 1.48 pounds for the Granite Ware oval roaster to 3.2 pounds for the Glad and Circulon. The MICHELANGELO is 2.35 pounds and the Farberware is 3.0 pounds. A pan that publishes a weight and a full dimension set is easier to plan around than one that publishes only a nominal size.
| Specification | MICHELANGELO | Granite Ware | Glad | Circulon | Farberware |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published length | 16.5 in | 13.0 in | 17.6 in | 17.3 in | 16.0 in |
| Published width | 11.5 in | 8.0 in | 11.0 in | 13.4 in | 11.25 in |
| Published height | 2.3 in | 5.0 in | 3.1 in | 6.0 in | 2.5 in |

The table does not tell you how any pan roasts, how evenly it heats, or how long it lasts. Those are performance questions, and nobody at Lush has used these pans. The figures describe size and stated limits only. Where a cell reads not published, the manufacturer does not publish that figure.
The Glad size field reads 17.6 by 11.0 by 3.1 inches, while its feature text gives 15 by 10.3 by 2.8 inches excluding handles. Both sets can be true at once, because one includes the handles and one does not, but the listing does not label the size field that way. A buyer who reads only the size field will plan for a longer pan than the cooking surface suggests.
The Circulon size field reads 17.3 by 13.4 by 6.0 inches, while its title says 17 by 13 inches. The difference is small, but it shows that the title is a nominal size and the size field is the fuller figure. When two figures differ, the larger set is the one to plan around, because handles and rims take up space in an oven.
The MICHELANGELO size field reads 16.5 by 11.5 by 2.3 inches, and its feature text repeats the same set and adds an interior of 14.6 by 10.6 by 2.2 inches. The copy also gives a total width of 16.7 inches with handles, which is close to the 16.5 inch length. That is the most consistent set of the five, and it is why this pan leads the page.
The Farberware size field reads 16.0 by 11.25 by 2.5 inches, and its feature text repeats 11 by 15 inches. The two sets are close but not identical, and the copy does not say whether the 11 by 15 inch figure includes handles. The pan publishes a weight of 3.0 pounds and a chrome-plated rack, but no oven temperature.
The Granite Ware oval roaster is the lightest of the five at 1.48 pounds. The MICHELANGELO is 2.35 pounds, the Farberware is 3.0 pounds, and the Glad and Circulon are 3.2 pounds each. A lighter pan is easier to lift from a hot oven, but weight alone does not describe how a pan roasts or how sturdy it feels when loaded.
The MICHELANGELO gives its weight as about 2.3 lb in its feature text and 2.35 pounds in the size field. The two figures are close, and the maker states both. The other four publish a single weight figure and do not repeat it in their copy, so there is nothing to cross-check.
The Granite Ware oval roaster states a 7 lb capacity. The MICHELANGELO states a fit for 10 to 15 lb turkeys. The Glad, Circulon, and Farberware do not publish a capacity, so the manufacturer does not publish it and no figure should be assumed. Capacity is unambiguous when stated, which is why it can be compared directly.
A stated capacity is more useful than a nominal size for matching a pan to a bird. The Granite Ware figure of 7 lb and the MICHELANGELO figure of 10 to 15 lb are the only two capacity statements among the five picks, and they describe different jobs.
Buyer who wants the figures to match the copy. The MICHELANGELO publishes 16.5 by 11.5 by 2.3 inches, repeats the same set in its feature text, and adds an interior set. It is the most consistent listing of the five.
Buyer who wants a light covered roaster. The Granite Ware oval roaster publishes 13.0 by 8.0 by 5.0 inches and 1.48 pounds, the lightest of the five, with a stated 7 lb capacity and a self-basting lid.
Buyer who wants a large nonstick pan with a rack. The Glad publishes 17.6 by 11.0 by 3.1 inches and 3.2 pounds, with a V-shaped iron rack and a second interior set excluding handles.
Buyer who wants a wide nonstick roaster. The Circulon publishes 17.3 by 13.4 by 6.0 inches and 3.2 pounds, with a U-shaped rack and a stated oven limit of 450°F.
Buyer who wants a mid-size pan with a chrome rack. The Farberware publishes 16.0 by 11.25 by 2.5 inches and 3.0 pounds, with a removable chrome-plated rack and dual-riveted handles.
The following figures were looked for and not found in the listings. Where a maker states nothing, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
A roasting pan has to fit an oven shelf and a refrigerator shelf, and the outer span with handles is often larger than the cooking surface. A maker that publishes length, width, height, and weight lets you check both before ordering. A maker that publishes only a nominal size leaves you guessing about the handles and the rim.
The MICHELANGELO publishes 16.5 by 11.5 by 2.3 inches and 2.35 pounds, and its feature text repeats the same dimensions and gives an interior set of 14.6 by 10.6 by 2.2 inches. The Granite Ware, Glad, Circulon, and Farberware also publish all three dimensions and a weight, but their copy is less consistent.
No. The Glad size field reads 17.6 by 11.0 by 3.1 inches, while its feature text gives 15 by 10.3 by 2.8 inches excluding handles. The Circulon size field reads 17.3 by 13.4 by 6.0 inches, while its title says 17 by 13 inches. Read both before you order.
The Granite Ware oval roaster is the lightest of the five at 1.48 pounds. The Glad and Circulon are the heaviest at 3.2 pounds each. The MICHELANGELO is 2.35 pounds and the Farberware is 3.0 pounds. A lighter pan is easier to lift from the oven, but weight alone does not describe how a pan roasts.
The MICHELANGELO publishes an interior of 14.6 by 10.6 by 2.2 inches. The Glad publishes 15 by 10.3 by 2.8 inches excluding handles. The other three do not publish a separate interior set, so the outer figures are all you have to work with.
Then the manufacturer does not publish it, and you should not assume a figure. On this sheet all five picks publish a weight, but the Granite Ware and Glad do not repeat it in their feature text, and the MICHELANGELO gives its weight as about 2.3 lb rather than an exact number.
