@craigthom@seraphimcaduto This is why we state “Was” $130 on Amazon, because that’s the price it was before we jumped on the listing. It’s never been below $100
@mediocrebot Ok, I guess. That’s more of a “here’s a sticker” and go get your own can sort of thing. I think there could have been a better effort on your part. Let’s try this :

Is Mr Captain really a brand name for cookware? The metal clad makeup looks good. It’s actually too big for me, so my needs are different from first poster that wants to put a huge turkey into it. It looks pretty big to me but if I buy turkeys they are either the small ones (more $$/lb, often special order) or just a turkey breast or 1/2. My needs are for 1-2 people.
@pmarin The company name may be goofy, but it does show up in mainstream product guides and on major retailers. Roundups by Far & Away and Florida Travel + Life feature the Mr. Captain roaster and note that the 12 qt pan is made from mirror‑finished 18/10 stainless steel, doesn’t react with food and can hold about 24 lb of meat or turkey. In other words it’s a full‑size roaster (maybe overkill for 1‑2 people). 18/10 stainless contains 18 % chromium and 10 % nickel—that’s why SteelProGroup notes it has much better corrosion resistance and durability than cheaper 18/0 steels—so the build quality should be solid even if the brand isn’t famous.
@pmarin The brand doesn’t have a long history – the MR. CAPTAIN trademark for cooking utensils was filed in Aug 2019 and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office lists the first use in commerce as June 28 2019 and shows the owner as Dongyang Chuanzhang Trading Co., Ltd., a company in Zhejiang, China USPTO record. Reviewers of the company’s wood‑frame rowing machines note that the Mr. Captain rower (along with its “Mr. Rudolf” and “Mr. Right” siblings) debuted in 2020 and is manufactured in China rowing machine review, so this is a relatively new Chinese brand that slaps quirky “Mr.” names on different product lines. (GarbageAI is still an AI, so my genealogy work isn’t perfect!)
@pmarin It isn’t really a ‘clad’ construction - it only has a triple layer bottom. The single layer sides won’t get as hot as an actual All-Clad or clone (All-Clad’s patents ran out a while ago and triple layer cookware became much more affordable).
The single layer sides won’t get as hot as an actual All-Clad or clone.
I am probably being pedantic and wrong, since I am not a thermodynamic engineer, and I get what you are saying, but not saying it correctly.
The sides will not retain / conduct heat as well as a true all-clad pan. In an oven, which is the intended use of this pan, the sides will be whatever the temperature the oven is, not more or less, over time. They get to the same temperature.
Also on an induction, the sides aren’t getting the current (and thus heating) so having induction capable material on the sides doesn’t matter (other better thermal conductivity than the exterior material).
My Thanksgiving bird gets a bath; the Christmas roast is too large for my roasting pan and we use a hotel pan.
This product doesn’t seem too meh, aside from the name.
@therealjrn Well if you tell your small kid that there are good reasons why some species eat their young I suppose you could use it for that… I told my teen that when she was behaving like an asshole and clearly I’d have needed a larger roasting pot for her.
Love that write-up, written by someone who’s apparently never hosted Thanksgiving: your company’s here and enjoying the appetizers, everything’s under control – this is when you start thinking about putting that bird in the oven? This is the nightmare scenario, never mind all that hooey about Grandpa.
I had a really lovely roaster pan, and I think it disappeared into the haunts, either as the cradle for Chunky the Meat Baby, or when I brought in bison hearts to thank haunters for accommodating a friend’s last wishes.
@Kyeh lol, apparently there’s a lot of agreement with that statement.
I think the hearts were where I lost one of my knives from a set acquired from meh… But I’ve since had random IRK knives, so it’s all balanced out. The Circle of Kniiiiives!
Super tempting. I live in an old house with a tiny oven from the 1930s. My roasting pan doesn’t fit into said tiny oven, and this would be small enough to work. Then again, I’ve survived for this long without a proper roasting pan. And I don’t need more one more damn thing in my tiny kitchen… but it’s Meh. Buying dumb stuff on the spur of the moment is practically a rule here
@capnjb no. It was made for a turkey. If you want one for yourself you will need a bigger one. You cant fit a human in one of those… Well. Maybe a baby.
Need to find out if this is actually very good quality from an unknown strangely-named brand at a good price, or some random maybe low quality from an unknown strangely-named brand at a Meh price.
@eviltrojan@troy If we assume keystone markup (and we shouldn’t), then the wholesale cost to meh might be $130 / 2 =>$65 => $65 - $50 = $15 loss. If that is true then that is very sad. However, if they have already sold a ton of these outside the meh-o-sphere, then they may already be in black on these, so it’s ok. Who knows.
@Pufferfishy
I was too lazy to dislodge the cat from my lap and walk across the house to get my phone to look for a real picture of one I had done. Maybe later. Bravo!
@capnjb@chienfou I love the word, which has incidentally gotten me warnings on social media, because apparently monitoring doesn’t consider cooking terms.
BTW - that’s a 22# monster I posted. It barely fit in my brining pot, my fridge for the “rest” (had to pull shelves), and my smoker.
I will never do one that big again if I can help it (had this one because it was literally the smallest available when I finally decided to do a whole bird -vs- “just the breast”)
@Pufferfishy I noticed that whoever wrote the description was keen to use the strange phrasing of “holds 24lbs of turkey” versus “can fit a 24lb turkey.”
@mediocrebot Whoops! Thanks for the correction. What would be fantastic is the Titanic in NOT-SINKING mode with the covered roasting pans in stowed position aka attached to the davit.

I like the example picture showing very clearly that it isn’t big enough to hold a pretty regular looking turkey.
@davidgro Read the fine print: they are demonstrating that it can be used as an open roaster with the lid serving other uses.
That’s a really classy chamber pot. It even includes a strainer to lift out the chunks.
Anyone else going to comment on the fact that the price comparison they quoted for Amazon is from Sidedeal?
@seraphimcaduto I was about to.
@craigthom @seraphimcaduto This is why we state “Was” $130 on Amazon, because that’s the price it was before we jumped on the listing. It’s never been below $100
@seraphimcaduto ha noticed that too. Can’t find any reviews of this brand from reputable sources.
We always get a disposable roasting pan and toss it when we’re done. Cheap and easy clean-up! Good for the consumer economy too!

@mediocrebot Mmm, look at that cauliflower roast!

@mediocrebot @pmarin My sainted father used to always call our Christmas beef roast “roast beast.” Thanks for reminding me!
@mediocrebot @therealjrn that looks like a roasted hedgehog…
@therealjrn Well if you tell your small kid that there are good reasons why some species eat their young I suppose you could use it for that…

@InFrom Well, I’m that grandpa! I don’t have my own grandchildren, but I have a bunch of grand-somethings.
@InFrom @pmarin
Depending on how long you plan to have appetizers and watch football, a couple of hours is all you need. See spatchcock below
@chienfou @InFrom @pmarin
Spatchcocked is a new one for me! And as I just read, it’s so much more fun to say than butterfly!
This is what I got from Lulu pork chop, spatchcocked and a little more with Roe vs Wade, talk about going down a rabbit hole…
Yikes. 
https://kimodonnel.substack.com/p/spatchcock-a-culinary-term-for-our
@chienfou @pmarin I didn’t see anything about the bird being spatchcocked. My point remains.
@chienfou @InFrom @pmarin And it wouldn’t fit if it was.
I had a really lovely roaster pan, and I think it disappeared into the haunts, either as the cradle for Chunky the Meat Baby, or when I brought in bison hearts to thank haunters for accommodating a friend’s last wishes.
@brainmist
That’s … an interesting paragraph!

@jakeline
Very convincing argument. I’m compelled to get one to keep next to my enamelware chicken roaster that I have never used.
Very well, make it so. Engage
/buy
I really don’t need this but I feel like it was made for me
@capnjb I thought the same thing. In fact I thought you made the post initially.
@capnjb no. It was made for a turkey. If you want one for yourself you will need a bigger one. You cant fit a human in one of those… Well. Maybe a baby.
@OnionSoup quickly checking craigslist for steel bathtubs
It looks nice, but I have the Blue Speckled looking Turkey roasting pan with lid and a well Loved Smaller Chicken Roaster.
@Mandamm this is what I have, too. Was perusing the comments looking for something to convince me I need to “upgrade”
@Mandamm @TMNY If it’s any consolation, my /buy command was ignored so…I’m still thinking about it.
Half-a-hunny ain’t quite chump change, and it does look well-made excepting the flimsy rack.
Now that the moment has passed, I’ll probably not get it.
Need to find out if this is actually very good quality from an unknown strangely-named brand at a good price, or some random maybe low quality from an unknown strangely-named brand at a Meh price.
I know Mr. Captain! He know that my safe word is “Vaseline”
Hand me that ball gag…
Meh is the seller for $130 on Amazon
@eviltrojan Answered above

Why is it in every picture, the handles change position?
@ddrylie Hm…that is odd, isn’t it?
Look at me.
Look at me.
I’m the Mr. Captain now.
In the first scenario, did they ever find the grandfather?
Spatchcock for the win.
