Sheldon's right. If you are buying a solid stainless roasting pan, then
get one that's properly sized and reasonably priced.

$70 for a small lasagna pan is just silly. And he's right about the
rounded corners.

As far as the handles go, the reason for handles sticking out like that
is to make them cool enough to grasp without using potholders. Given
that your handles will be oven temperature, having them stick out like
that is just silly. All they do is take up space. Other manufacturers
make them stick UP, and not OUT, so they don't waste space.

The whole thing is silly and overpriced. Either get a cheap stainless
roasting pan or a good aluminum one.
