Looking for a Cheap Roaster Pan

[sliding_billy]

Does anybody know of a cheap roster pan that is large enough to hold a Weber 6469 Original Rib and Roast Holder (in either direction)?  Nothing I have is large enough, so I have to waste a rack to put a roaster under it when I want to gather drippings or create less mess.  Disposables are fine if the price is right.

We use a lot of the full size steam table pans from Sam's Club.   They are about 50 cents a pop in a package of 15.

You rock Squirt.  I just looks at the dimensions on the Sam's site, and I think they will work.  Nice price too.  Looks like they are only sold online though.  How strange...

I buy half and full size steam table pans in the store @ Sam's. May want to call your local Sam's and see if they have them in stock.

Ditto.   Our store stocks them.

The absolute best solution I know of.  And, you can even wash them out and re-use them a few times if you want to.

I just noticed that the disposable one at Sam's has a smaller bottom dimension than top (9 7/8 vs 12 7/8).  I need to double check the width on the rib rack.  Amazon lists it as 10.5" which wouldn't fit inside.  Crap!  This one (not disposable) doesn't look like it has a different inside dimension and would fit.  Not a bad price for two.

You can get them a lot cheaper at the Dollar stores. There are assorted sizes, very cheap.  Pam   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

That is where I normally get them (or Walmart), but I have never seen one 17+ inches long (The rib rack is 16.5X10.5 at its widest point).

I need to physically measure steam table pans.  I went to Sam's today, and they have them.  I think they are a hair to narrow on the inside.  They had the non-disposable ones too, and I think they will fit.

The aluminum pans above are meant to be liners for the non-disposable pans you found, so they are slightly smaller. A steam table pan would definitely work and last a lifetime as they are very sturdy and well built.

Personally prefer the stainless steel steam table pans.   IF your Sam's doesn't have them (which ours doesn't), go to a restaurant supply house and buy them.   Much easier to handle because they are solid and heavy enough they don't collapse on you when you try to move them.    Learned to use these after years of manning the serving line for our local kitchen that serves a hot meal daily to the hungy.   Won't call it a soup kitchen, cause we serve a heck of a lot more than soup!   A full, balanced meal weekdays--entrée, starch (or two) vegetable (or two), salad and a dessert.   Weekends are sack lunches with two sandwiches (for adults--one for kids), drink and cookies and/o candy.
