Using a roasting pan on a gas hob

Thread Starter: misswhiskers    Started: Sun 16 Aug 2009    Replies: 1

I have just purchased a Heavy Gauge steel construction (non stick) roasting pan from Tesco and wondered if anyone knows if I can use it on a gas hob to start off my daube of beef recipe? Confused

It will probably buckle and the concentration of heat in one place may damage the non-stick coating.

Roasting trays suitable for hob-top use are usually heavy gauge aluminium - the extra thickness and nature of the metal means that the heat is evenly distributed through the base. The better quality ones have a hard anodised non-stick coating. ASDA used to do one for about £25, which is the cheapest I have seen with a hard anodised finish.

This one looks good value, albeit that it has a Teflon coating.
