Fire-roasting chilies and bell peppers brings out their smoky-sweet flavor, but it can be a tricky business to hold a pepper over a flame with a fork.

This handy stainless-steel roaster offers a safer option.

Fitted with two loop handles, the round, bottomless pan fits over a gas burner, allowing peppers to roast and char to perfection without burning.

It’s also good for warming breads and tortillas and for roasting eggplants.

Intended for use on gas burners only.

Dishwasher safe.
