This soapstone roasting pan is hand-crafted from a block of solid soapstone called Naturstone. Perfect for low-fat, healthy cooking, soapstone is a natural material that, once cured, becomes virtually non-stick. For use in the oven or on the stovetop (gas or electric) with a heat diffuser, the soapstone roasting pan is perfect for fast cooking at high temperatures or slow cooking on barely a flame.

Naturstone stores and radiates twice as much heat as metal cookware, so, if you use this pan to serve appetizers, don't worry about them cooling off anytime soon. It is equally as impressive at storing cold.

Before using your soapstone pan, it must be cured through a one-time seasoning process of oil and heat (directions are included). Curing also strengthens the pan, and it will turn a beautiful lustrous black. To clean use warm water (or add a mild detergent, if desired).

Beautifully decorative and durable, the roasting pan is 11" in diameter and 1-1/2" deep. Naturstone soapstone is heritage quality cookware that you will want to pass along to your children and they to theirs.
