Following our initial release several years ago now of a smaller range of stainless steel roasting pans we have now expanded and streamlined our range to 7 new sizes which now include the roasting rack and a handy storage/steamer lid all in one as a kit using food grade 304 stainless steel. It’s also our first venture into the hydroforming process used to manufacture these here in Australia. Testing and development of this range resulted in what we believe to be the best all round roasting pan set on the market to date. Affordable, strong, durable, versatile, lightweight, multipurpose, easy to use and care for, healthy non-toxic Australian made cookware was just some of the criteria. Use on or in a variety of heat sources was also another criterion, considering a lot of our products have been developed for use over FLAME ‘N’ COALS™. You may never use yours in a woodfired pizza oven, smoker or chiminea like our SMI Aussie Inferno Chiminea (watch the video clip below showing it being used to steam a whole Barramundi with vegetables), instead just in your kitchen oven at home or in the caravan and as such we developed this expanded range to cater for all tastes and uses.

SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ SS (“Stainless Steel”) Roasting Pan Sets (“325 & 530 Series”) are each comprised of 3 components, a roasting pan, a roasting rack, and a handy storage/steaming lid all made from food grade 304 stainless steel. There are no synthetic toxic coatings to break down, peel off or chip into your food and they are safe to use with any type of utensils (e.g. metal or wood). They don’t require any seasoning and clean up is a breeze in your sink with conventional hot soapy water or in your dishwasher. Each roasting pan is wrought from a single piece of stainless steel with no seams, joins, rivets, or welds. Formed using a process called hydroforming they have a smooth finish both on the exterior and interior with rounded corners, so food won’t get caught also making them strong by design and easy to clean for perfect healthy cooking every time. The upper top horizontal surface (lip or rim as to speak) of each roasting pan component has a unique and innovative dual ribbing (inner and outer wall) formed during the hydroforming process, it’s not just flat. This dual ribbing engineered inbuilt feature results in a superior strength and rigidity over flat walled (no horizontal top lip or one dimensional horizontal flat top lip) only roasting pans on the market and serves as a purpose built lifting point for ease of use. They are fully compatible with fridge or freezer use also for the ultimate of versatility and convenience. The handy included sealing lid enables you to store any leftovers in the actual roasting pan itself as mentioned in your fridge or freezer as required.

Perfect for use in the oven at home or commercial kitchen (gas or electric), BBQ, woodfired pizza oven, chiminea, smoker, cook tops (including induction) and much more, SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ is “Everyday Cookware For Everybody™”. The smaller “325 Series” roasting pan component of the “325 Series” kits come in 4 depth options 40mm, 65mm, 100mm & 150mm while the larger “530 Series” come in 3 depth options 65mm, 100mm & 150mm for you to choose from for your particular size oven or BBQ and style of cooking, baking, roasting, steaming and even shallow or deep frying. 

The included roasting rack in each roasting pan set helps elevate your roast above the base of the roasting pan allowing the heat from your oven or BBQ to fully circulate under and around it, cooking it to perfection whilst allowing the juices to catch below in the base of the pan for making delicious gravy and adding flavour to vegetables which can be roasted on the base of the pan at the same time under the roasting rack. Without a roasting rack it just wouldn’t be a roasting pan with these features. Of course, you can use your roasting pan without the rack especially with just a layer of vegetables on the base or for any of the other types of cooking/baking where it’s not required, however for superior results when roasting meat though a roasting rack is absolutely essential. The roasting rack just on its own also comes in handy used in hooded/domed or kettle type BBQ’s to elevate produce above the grill or hot plate cooking food slower or just used to keep food warm. The roasting rack supplied with the “530 Series” has dual height capabilities, 25mm or 50mm clearance off the bottom of the pan. By simply reversing it you can lower or raise the height of your particular style of cooking in your roasting pan. Both size roasting racks in each series “325 & 530” can also be used in the kitchen as cake, bread or pastry cooling stands too on your kitchen benchtop. An added bonus with the larger “530 Series” roasting rack is that you can use it directly over a fire for real authentic char-grilled over FLAME ‘N’ COALS™ cooking too. It’s made from 6mm round diameter solid 304 food grade stainless steel, the same material we use as a minimum on all of our over the fire grills available for our fire pit range here at Slot Me In™.

With your SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ SS roasting pan you can also bake large sheet type cakes, bake bread & pastries, make lasagne, steam fish or vegetables (with a water bath in the pan) below the fish or vegetables supported on the roasting rack above and much more. Being fully stainless steel the SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ SS “325 & 530 Series” Roasting Pan Sets are especially suited to acidic type cooking such as tomato or citrus based cook ups which would otherwise strip away seasoning on conventional type cast iron, wrought iron or carbon steel seasoned type roasting pans. Need to defrost any frozen goods? Pop them in the roasting pan on top of the roasting rack and any moisture will drain through to the base of the pan and it keeps your sink free also.

The SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ SS “325 Series” Roasting Pan Sets easily fit the smallest of domestic ovens are lightweight, strong, durable and can be served directly from oven or stovetop to table as required. The longer/wider “530 Series” sets are suited for larger ovens and are just as easy and light to use and can also be served up from oven or stovetop to table.

A fun fact, when not cooking with your SMI OZ IRON KOOKWARE™ SS Roasting Pan (especially with the deeper models 100mm & 150mm) is that they can be used as an ice bucket to keep drinks or seafood chilled in the great outdoors.
