Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head pub in Keswick, Cumbria, needed to replace its collection of warped and peeling roasting tins before the busy tourist season. They needed something that could withstand constant use for their renowned Sunday carvery.
"We were going through cheap roasting tins every few months. This Wham enamel roaster is in a different league. The heat distribution is spot on, the clean-up is a breeze, and it still looks new after months of hard graft. It just works."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in more consistent cooking across large joints of meat, reducing waste and allowing the kitchen to serve an extra 20 covers during the Sunday rush with confidence.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use and Setup
- Before its first use, give the roaster a quick wash in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- Enamelware doesn't require seasoning like cast iron, so it's ready to go immediately.
- For best results, avoid placing an empty pan in a pre-heated oven for long periods.
- Always use oven gloves, as the body and handles will get extremely hot.
Keeping It in Top Condition
- To clean, allow the pan to cool down first before washing to prevent thermal shock.
- For stubborn, baked-on food, soak the pan in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh abrasive scourers.
- While it is exceptionally tough, try to avoid dropping it on hard surfaces to prevent chipping the enamel.
- Always dry the pan thoroughly before storing to maintain its finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I really use metal utensils on this roaster?
A: Yes, absolutely. The vitreous enamel coating is specifically designed to be tough and scratch-resistant, making it safe for use with metal spatulas, spoons, and whisks.
Q: Is this roasting pan dishwasher safe?
A: While many enamel products are technically dishwasher safe, we always recommend hand washing to prolong their life and finish. A simple soak and wipe is usually all it needs.
Q: Can I use this on an induction hob?
A: Yes, as this pan has a steel core, it is suitable for use on all hob types, including induction, gas, and electric, making it incredibly versatile.
Q: What happens if the enamel chips?
A: If the pan is dropped and the enamel chips, the exposed steel underneath may be prone to rust. To prevent this, simply ensure the pan is dried thoroughly after washing.
Q: Does this pan need to be seasoned before use?
A: No, it does not. The enamel surface is non-porous and ready to use after a quick wash. It provides an excellent cooking surface from the very first use.
Q: How heavy is the Wham 36cm roasting pan?
A: It weighs just 0.83kg, making it surprisingly lightweight for its size and durability. It's easy to handle, even when full.
Q: Will strong-coloured foods like beetroot or bolognese stain the surface?
A: No, the non-porous enamel surface is highly resistant to staining and will not absorb odours or flavours from your food.
Q: How does it compare to a non-stick roaster?
A: It's far more durable. While modern non-stick is good, it can be easily scratched and degrades over time. Enamel is a tougher, longer-lasting solution for a commercial environment.

Explore more from Baker & SaltWhat Makes Vitreous Enamel a Kitchen Workhorse?
Ever wondered what 'vitreous enamel' actually means? Think of it as a suit of armour for your steel pan. It's a layer of powdered glass, fused onto the steel at incredibly high temperatures (over 800°C). This process creates a super-hard, non-porous, and heat-resistant surface that's bonded directly to the metal.
Unlike a simple non-stick coating that can peel or be scratched off, enamel becomes part of the pan itself. This is why it's so durable and can handle metal utensils. It's also chemically inert, meaning it won't react with acidic foods like tomatoes or absorb strong flavours and odours. So, the lasagne you bake on Tuesday won't make Friday's roasted salmon taste funny. It’s a simple, effective technology that delivers professional-grade durability and hygiene.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Inns: Absolutely essential for turning out perfect Sunday roasts and hearty pub-grub classics like shepherd's pie.
- Cafés & Bistros: Ideal for roasting Mediterranean vegetables, baking pasta dishes, or creating traybakes for the counter.
- Event Caterers: Its robust build makes the Wham 36cm roasting pan perfect for transporting and using in demanding mobile kitchens.
