My Scanpan is still fine in 2026! 

The trick is NOT to use those low-calorie spray cooking oils, as they contain ingredients like lecithin or soy lecithin. These ruin your non-stick pans in no time at all.

Having been sent this beautiful Scanpan, I put it to the test - would it be easy to clean afterwards? The answer is, it was a doddle. 😀

The Scanpan combines sleek design with excellent performance, working perfectly in both the oven and on the stove. Crafted in Denmark, this roasting pan features a non-stick ceramic titanium coating and is safe for use with metal utensils, although I wouldn't use them!

It's multi-purpose as well as it has a base like a frying pan directly on the hob and can also be used in the oven, under the grill and on the stovetop.

Another great feature is that you can transfer it straight from the oven to the hob (except induction), making it ideal for whipping up gravy or reducing sauces.

I found the food cooked evenly, and it seems that nothing will stick to it!

Cleaning was easy, just some nice hot, sudsy water and using a cloth. The oil and honey were surprisingly easy to clean, and the pan looked like it had never been used!

All in all

This roasting pan is fantastic - sturdy, well-made, and easily the best I’ve ever owned. Sure, it’s not cheap, but I think it’s worth the investment as I’m confident it will last for years. 

If you’re looking for a proper, professional roasting pan, I’d definitely recommend it.

It's worth noting that it isn't suitable for induction hobs, which is a shame. 😑

Roasted Root Vegetables

Christmassy veg glazed with Port and redcurrant jelly. Perfect with Christmas dinner or with the usual Sunday roast.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 35 Min

Ingredients

• 2 red onions - peeled and quartered
• 1 brown onion - peeled and quartered
• 2 nice fat parsnips - peeled and sliced lengthwise
• 3 cooked beetroots from a pack (be sure they aren't in vinegar)
• a handful of Chantenay carrots - slice lengthwise if you use regular carrots
• sea salt and black pepper
• olive oil
• runny honey
• 3 tablespoons of redcurrant jelly
• 2 tablespoons of port

Instructions

Preheat your oven 220°C/425°F or Gas 7

1. Prepare the vegetables as above - Chantenay carrots are already small enough.
2. Preheat your oven, then pour the port and redcurrant jelly into your pan, and place it in the oven for about 2 minutes to melt the jelly.
3. Add all the vegetables except the beetroot, as it's already cooked. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with olive oil and a bit of runny honey, then toss to coat evenly.
4. Place the roasting dish into the oven and cook for roughly 10-15 minutes. Add the beetroot and turn the other veggies.
5. Put the pan back in for another 10 minutes, then stir again to coat the beetroot and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes. As ovens can vary, keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
6. Once the vegetables are nice and tender, remove them from the oven. Stir gently to coat the vegetables and serve right away.
