Nesco Porcelain Roaster Oven, 6 Quart, White

Since the 1930s, the Nesco brand name has been synonymous with Roaster Ovens. With a Nesco Roaster Oven, you can roast, bake, cook, steam, slow cook, and serve. The Roaster Oven is portable, allowing you to make great-tasting meals wherever you go. The exclusive "Circle of Heat" heating element wraps around the cookwell, ensuring moist and even cooking. The automatic temperature control maintains even cooking temperatures from 125 degrees to 425 degrees. The removable steel rack is designed for better baking and fat-free roasting. The 6-quart size is perfect for everyday use, and its versatility and size make it an ideal appliance for preparing family meals.

The porcelain cookwell is easy to clean, as it is fused to the steel at a high temperature, producing a non-porous, inert glass-like surface. Nesco Roaster Ovens have a long tradition in family home cooking, starting in the 1930s, and they have kept pace with changing cooking styles, preferences, occasions, and family sizes. The Roaster Oven's portability makes it a versatile appliance, serving as a main cooking appliance at times and a supplementary appliance at others. You can use it at home on your countertop, in a covered patio, basement, or garage, or away from home in a cabin, RV, or boat.

The Nesco Roaster Oven's "Circle of Heat" construction ensures moist, good-tasting foods. To get the most out of this special home cooking appliance, it's important to follow the proper use and care instructions. This includes unpacking the Roaster Oven, removing all packaging material and information labels, and placing it in a well-ventilated area on a heat-resistant surface. After setting the control dial to its minimum setting and plugging in the cord, you should operate the Roaster Oven empty (without the cookwell or cover) for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappears.

Once the curing process is complete, you can wash the cover, cookwell, and rack in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry them. For non-stick cookwells, it's recommended to lightly coat the interior with vegetable oil before cooking for the first time. When using the Roaster Oven, it's important to preheat it for 20 minutes, as this helps keep roasted meats moist and tender. You can also add browning sauce to the oil and brush it over the skin before roasting for additional browning. For searing meat, you can preheat the Roaster Oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, add margarine, cover, and sear the meat for 10 to 15 minutes per side until lightly browned.

The Nesco Roaster Oven is a versatile and convenient cooking appliance that has stood the test of time. With its moist, even cooking, temperature control, and easy cleaning, it's a valuable addition to any kitchen, offering a wide range of cooking options for families of all sizes.
