At the lower end, Chicago Metallic offers a range of good value roasting trays and pans suitable for professional use.

The manufacturer's Bake & Roast Pan with Rack is priced available for a discount price of £15.29 through Headcook and Bottlewasher and has a lifetime warranty.

Chicago Metallic also offers a Mini Roaster with Rack, which measures just 10in X 7in X 1.75in, to suit chefs who may need a new roasting tin, but that are short of space in their oven. Both products are coated with Professional Lifetime Resist Plus non-stick coating, which continues to perform after 25,000 cleaning scrubs.

For chefs seeking some mid-range price roasting trays, Mermaid's Hard Anodised Companion Trio Baking Dish Set represents good value for money. Costing just £35.19, buyers get three dishes in one.

Meanwhile, the Mermaid Hard Anodised Roasting Dish measures 37cm x 26.5cm and is suitable for both the oven and the top of a stove. Its hard anodised finish protects against abrasion, is suitable for metal tools and will not peel or flake, and costs just £30.39.

At the higher end of the scale, Mauviel offers two roasting dishes that are suitable for all but induction heat sources. The Rectangular Roasting Pan (30cm x 22cm x 6cm) costs £178.11 and features bronze handles, while the larger Durminium Roasting pan (35cm x 25cm x 7cm) is an extra thick tray with a polished outside and costs £94.87.
