HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR YOUR ROASTER OVEN 1. Unpack your Nesco Roaster Oven completely and remove all packaging material and information labels. Place the Roaster Oven in a well ventilated area on a heat resistant surface. Set the control dial to its minimum setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Return control to maximum setting (450-degrees F). Operate the Roaster Oven empty (without the cookwell or cover) for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappears. Some smoke and odor are a normal part of “curing” the element and will not reoccur in cooking use. When curing is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool. 2. Wash the cover, cookwell and rack in warm sudsy water, then rinse and dry. Refer to complete cleaning instructions in manual. 3. Non-stick cookwell: When ‘curing’ your Roaster Oven with a non-stick cookwell, we recommend that it be operated with cover and cookwell. Do this in a covered outside area or other well-ventilated area. After curing and cleaning, and before cooking in your non-stick cookwell for the first time, lightly coat the interior of the cookwell with vegetable oil.
HELPFUL HINTS Preheat roaster oven for 20 minutes. Roasting meat in your Nesco Roaster Oven keeps it moist and tender. For additional browning, you can add 1 tbsp. browning sauce to oil and brush over skin before roasting. To sear meat, preheat Roaster Oven at 450-degrees F. Add margarine. Cover, then sear meat for 10 to 15 minutes per side until lightly browned. Stir ground meat once. Time will vary depending on the quantity of meat. Alternative browning method for self-basting turkeys, preheat at 400-degrees F for 20 minutes. Roast bird for 1 hour at 400-degrees F. Reduce heat to 350-degrees using included time chart, 13-18 minutes per pound. During last hour of roasting increase temperature to 400-degrees and remove all excess juices in bottom of cookwell.

A yes and a no on this one. I’ve been using this Nesco Roaster Oven for over 2 years now. It is mainly used for the slow cooker function because it is has variable heat and you can actually slow cook instead of boil your recipes. The cons to this unit are that it has no timer and the surface of insert is difficult to clean. Food cooks on to the metal surface so after scrubbing I actually rub it with canola oil then wipe it all out with paper towel to *season* the surface. It helps but does not alleviate the problem. Now…
Powerful enough to slow cook in an unheated garage. I like this Nesco 4816-14 Roaster (6 quart). I like to slow cook foods over many hours but I also like to make them flavorful which also makes them quite aromatic. A slow cooker in our house overwhelms me with strong aromas for hours and hours. It smells good for about the first 20 minutes but then I crave relief! I wanted to move the process to our separate unheated garage but a standard slow cooker didn’t have enough power to maintain a 250º temperature when it was cold outside. So, I…
Itâs a Winner Bought this right before Thanksgiving and roasted our turkey in it this year – turned out moist and delicious! Afterwards we used it to make large batches of spaghetti bolognese sauce and chili to put up in the freezer for future dinner meals. I used the âslow cookâ setting for the sauce/chili which allowed it to simmer. The turkey was roasted on the âroastâ setting which was perfect. Iâve read reviews where the Nesco cooks to hot no matter what setting itâs set on but I did not encounter…
