This is the best roasting pan I have ever seen. It is HEAVY with thick enough bottom and walls. It is comparable to one made by Mauviel also with folding handles. I own a couple of items made by the ITALIAN Paderno that are sold by World Cuisine in the US, and I am absolutely impressed with their quality. For one thing they are heavy gauge stuff. I understand that they were originally made for hotels and commercial cuisines that get them heavy and rough use. So they are not as pretty as All-Clad or some of the other well known and very expensive roasting pans, but they are heavy duty, well made, durable, and absolutely functional. In my opinion you can't go wrong with these. One other thing that is an advantage is the folding handles. I cannot stand those tall fixed handles that most other brands make, especially when they are curved towards the inside of the pan; somehow they obstruct access to the pan and make it extremely difficult to store the pan. The folding handles allow easier storage. The only other info that could perhaps offer is that the handle brackets are spot welded in 6 spots each. The comparable pans made by Mauviel (also with folding handles) have rivets instead.
To correct some of the info, the 11944-40 is 40x26x9 cm or 15.7x10.2x3.5 inches according to the specs catalog found on world-cuisine.com. You can see a more extensive specs catalog on the Italian site paderno.it if you follow the English "Welcome" version of it. They make even bigger pans (bigger than any I know) and I have been able to special order another one that is the best I have ever had. This did cost me a bit more but considering the weight and the construction of it, I feel its price is justified. I also did get a Mauviel which is also a marvelous and really beautiful pan, but in the end I did get the Paderno too because it is not easy to find elsewhere the bigger sizes that Paderno makes.
