Perhaps the most authentic and surely the simplest chestnut roaster, this is a great all-around tool for cooking over a live fire. The long (27" - and yes, you do need all of those inches for a really hot fire) handle keeps you far away from the heat while the heavy duty pan does a great job cooking the chestnuts (or whatever else you want to roast). Works great in your indoor or outdoor fireplace, the campsite or the beach.

Note: this is an open pan (a frying pan with holes in the bottom) and does not have a lid.
