the.com/roasting pan
the rack that turns a raw bird into the centerpiece everyone fights over.
means A large, sturdy oven-going dish, usually with high sides and often a removable rack, used for cooking meats and roasts and catching their drippings.
from A plain compound of two old workaday words. "Roast" came into English from Old French "rostir," itself likely rooted in a Germanic word for cooking on a grate or grill — a cousin of the same family that gave German "rösten." "Pan" is far older in the language, traced back to Old English "panne," a broad shallow vessel, possibly borrowed from Latin "patina," a dish or plate. Put the function beside the vessel and you simply have the pan in which you roast.
