I bought my very first roasting pan the other day. This may seem strange to some but I have gone 13 yrs now of cooking for myself and my family without a roasting pan. I've always bought the foil pans that can be thrown away. Yeah, its worked but I feel as though now I'm committed. Now I can buy an extra large turkey or ham for the holidays and not fear the pan will bend or disintegrate from the 7 extra hours it takes to cook the turkey because it didn't thaw all the way and its Thanksgiving morning and you have company coming that will not leave until they have a full meal in their belly! With the pan, I also bought a turkey. We're not having Thanksgiving here at the house this year, so that means no left over turkey sandwiches with cranberry and gravy for supper and lunch the day after!! I plan to make the turkey and sides the day before thanksgiving then when we come home we'll have plenty to choose from, maybe even make some soup!!
I don't have one either- in fact, I've never cooked a whole bird before. Oops. It is on my to do list this year though - I WILL become a grown up and cook a wider variety of grown up things! :)
ReplyDeleteimagine us....grownups, cooking grownup foods! I'm glad I'm not the only who has gone this long without a roasting pan! Sometimes I long for the days when we used to come inside from playing and your mom would greet us with a plate full of cookies or whoopie pies!!!
