Can someone recommend one that's good enough? So I don't go buying an All-Clad.

Crate and Barrel has some perfectly acceptable knock-offs at a fraction of the cost of All-Clad.

Crate and Barrel roaster
All-Clad roaster
Both come with either stainless or non-stick surfaces. If the rolled edge is worth $90 - $100 to you, by all means, go for the All-Clad.

The Crate & Barrel version is even a little bigger than the All-Clad version.

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Whichever you decide on (I've got the All-Clad petit roaster, which is big enough for two ducks, and love it), don't get nonstick. Yes, it might be slightly easier to clean. But you want that yummy fond for gravy-making. Just my 2¢.

It's been my experience with the non-stick Crate and Barrel roaster that the fond forms anyway, but is just easier to scrape up.

I like having the roasting rack handles be on the sides, that is, perpendicular to the pan handles. This is a handy feature which is, of course, not unique to the All-Clad model .

Stone, you'll be using it for life and leaving it to your grandchildren. So spring for a good one.
