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.

• Circle of Heat heating element cooks from the sides for moist, even cooking
• Adjustable temperature control (175 degrees to 425 degrees F)
• Removable steel rack for better baking and fat-free roasting
• Roasts, bakes, cooks, steams, slow cooks and serves

User questions & answers

Question:	I need one with a lid which seals well. Does the lid on this interlock with the rest of the unit or does the lid merely rest on the rim
Answer:	The lid does not seal at all. When I need a seal to retain fluids, I place a silicone cooking mat between the lid and the cook well.
Question:	What are the dimensions of this roaster
Answer:	Inside of the insert is 12 X 8. Outside handle to handle is 17 X 10.
Question:	Will it get hot enough to brown meat then turn down to slow cook
Answer:	No. I'm not sure how the others saying "yes" define searing, but there is not enough heat on the bottom to sear. The heating element is only around the side walls, so the only heat on the bottom is what is conducted indirectly from the sides. After having the unit on 425 for 30 minutes, it will evaporate drops of water, but slowly (no rolling ball droplets that indicate searing temp). There is not enough heat to get a med-high sear as you would on a stovetop. I wish it stated more clearly that the element is only on the sides. I couldn't find that information on Amazon or Nesco's own site. I'm still looking for a true one pot solution that allows both searing and slow cooking without switching pans and/or appliances.
Question:	Are the lids covered with a nonstick surface
Answer:	The exterior of the lid has a red glaze. The interior looks like a buffed aluminum surface, though don't think it's a non-stick coating. It is, however, quite easy to clean.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this made in USA
Answer:	My son is 15 and about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. It fits perfect on him.
Question:	Does the insert actually hold 1.5 quarts> I purchased a different one that barely held 1 quart
Answer:	Yes! Have used th is jacket (and matching pants) riding a motorcycle in the rain - keeps me dry even in all day heavy rain - on a long trip can't stop just because it rains. I put the jacket on including the hood and then helmet. Keeps water from dripping down my back. Seams do a great job of staying waterproof and not ripping apart at speed. Close fitting is best so doesn't flap when riding
Question:	Does anyone know of a really good cookbook to buy with recipes suitable for this 1.5 qt slow cooker . A cookbook they have used and enjoyed themselves
Answer:	I’m near your size. Medium is good. You can still wear a warm layer underneath the rain jacket at medium.
Question:	New to slow cooking, if a recipe calls for 6 hours but I don't get home for 8 hours:1. does it make a big difference? 2. Is it dangerous
Answer:	No pit zips ... but for the money a very good raincoat

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this non-toxic
Answer:	I don't know for sure, however my educated guess would say the paint will lift up once the heat is applied to the edgebanding. I would suggest placing a piece of cotton (shirting or similar weight) over the edge where you wish to place the edgebanding, heat your iron to the proper setting, and apply it to the fabric on the painted edge seeing if the paint loosens up, bubbles, etc. Or, cut a short test length of the banding and do the same thing. All else being equal, to be safe I would use a medium grit sandpaper and remove as much of the paint from the edge as possible. If it's a fairly thick coat, you might need to use a scraper first.
Question:	How many feet
Answer:	I do not recall how many feet it was when I purchased this in the past, however it does say 50' meaning feet inches would be 50" looking at the price it would be extremely high for 50 inches, so another indicator it is in fact 50'

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm looking for a large electric pressure cooker without tons of other features. i don't can, tho. should i still consider it? thanks
Answer:	To me the whole point of this canner is it does have lots of features (electronics are cheap). This single unit has replaced my crock pot, a smaller electric pressure cooker (That was not certified to can), and gives me a way to can smaller batches (Like the leftover chili I made with this device). The extra features are easy to use, so I don't see the downside. Plus it is way easier to use than hauling out my large stove top pressure canner. So yes, I would still consider it. This purchase was well worth it and will quickly pay for itself in better food and money saved.
Question:	Can I can Apple pie filling using this canner
Answer:	Yes I have successfully done so using the Amish Canning Cookbook recipe on page 136 but you have to use wide-mouth quart jars which should be nbd given the amount / consistency of the filling.
Question:	Can you can meats
Answer:	Yes you CAN ....this is a pressure CANNER and I’ve used it extensively for canning chilli and meat sauces etc. it’s the perfect canner except for the size. It only holds four quart jars max
Question:	Does anyone know what Error Code 10 means? Can't find it in manual or online
Answer:	This is not an error code. When the Carey shows E10 it is starting the venting process necessary to pressure can. The instructions, including the revised ones, are not clear on this. When you are pressure canning, the pressure limiting valve should be on "exhaust". After a bit, the Carey will beep and show E10, do nothing...you should allow the Carey to vent until the countdown reaches E0 and then switch the pressure valve to "airtight". The timer will begin shortly after you switch to "airtight".
