Am I weird?
This is my most recent possession. It's a huge (40 by 30 cm) roasting tin (that will, I'm sure, also accommodate a sheet cake perfectly). The people at my favorite cook shop, Kunst & Køkkentøj, said it probably wouldn't fit in the oven, but let me take it with me home for a try. It fits perfectly, leaving 1 cm on each side between the handle and the oven's side. Like a glove.
I know. I know. A ROASTING TIN?? C'mon.
But no. There's no denying it. I LOVE IT!
Now I just have to figure out what to make in it...

(a greek lurker :o)
What about Nigella's ham in coca cola? ;-)
I vote for roasted chicken and potatoes. I never thought to make a sheet cake in my roasting pan...
Ana - a sheet cake I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone?) is basically a rather flat (maybe 2 inches tall) cake, large (7 by 10-12 inches) and typically something I for one would bring to class to share with my fellow students. I hadn't heard the expression before I bought Baking by Flavor (one of my favorite cookbooks, as you'll know if you've browsed my blog!:-)) and Lisa Yockelson, the author, uses the term for large cakes, contrary to all the Bundt pan cakes, smaller square pans for brownies etc.
Keiko - thank you - it sure is HUGE!
Anon - great idea too, hadn't thought of that. And lord knows I've had my share of problems filling enough water into those ridiculous shallow pans that comes with your oven...
Love
