Is it safe to weld my wife's turkey roaster pan that we use for cooking?

Yeah, I think you just got yourself another oil drain pot for the shop.

I have always been told to stop using a ceramic coated pan after the coating is chipped. It's not food safe anymore. I'm with your wife on this one, but it sounds like we are the only ones that have been told this.
True or not, I wouldn't take a chance. Buy a new pan and use the old one as a tote pan.

I don't see any problem with welding it. Being it is just steel, It may rust faster.
On handles I usually look to see if I can rivet that type of repair
Just Thinking: two handles and four spot welds. One broke; what about the others?

If there's any kind of coating/nonstick on that (many types), it contains PTFE (Teflon). PTFE + high heat (~540degrees F) = a bunch of fluoropolymer poisons.
Pots are relatively cheap; if there's any doubt whether there's a coating or not, IMO buy a new pot.

No, it is not safe to weld on the pan.
The problem is the heat generated and how it will effect the coating. The heat could breakdown the coating.
I wouldn't even use the pan now because the coating is clearly chipped. Would you want to consume even the smallest of chip? That chipping cannot be repaired.

Many years ago I worked for a company that made ceramic coated porcelain oven cavities and other things. It was quite a process an acid bath for steel, then nickle plate, either sprayed or dipped basically ground glass then spattered white ceramic (something to do with heat transfer), then run through an oven at 2400Ā°F.
I wouldn't weld and try using it, and those roasting pans aren't expensive. As mentioned the ceramic coating is flaking off, you'd be eating bits of it and it wouldn't roast properly.
