To prevent a roasting pan from sticking, coat the bottom and sides with a thin layer of oil or non-stick cooking spray before adding your ingredients. Alternatively, use a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil to line the pan, which can be disposed of after use, saving cleaning time. Another tip is to deglaze the pan with a liquid like broth or wine midway through cooking; this not only prevents sticking but also adds flavor to the dish.
