Helpful Hints

ROAST

• Roasting meat in your NESCO Roaster Oven keeps it moist

and tender. For additional browning, you can add 1/2 Tsp.
browning sauce to oil or margarine and brush over skin
before roasting.

• Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them very

tender. Adding a gravy or sauce will make them extra
flavorful. 

• To sear meat, Preheat Roaster Oven at 450°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: Follow

recipe directions with these exceptions: Preheat NESCO
Roaster Oven and set temperature at 400°F. Roast turkey at
400°F for the first hour. Reduce heat to 350°F using time in
recipe, 13 to 18 minutes per pound. During the last hour of
roasting, remove all juice from Cookwell and return
temperature to 400°F.

COOK

• Cut-up meats and vegetables should be of uniform size

pieces.

• Remember, little moisture escapes during slow cooking so

add additional liquid sparingly. 

BAKE

• Use the baking rack to place casserole dishes and baking

pans on during cooking time. This will allow for more 
even baking. 

• Two loaf pans will fit into the Cookwell. A meat and a

vegetable, or two loaves of bread, may be baked at the 
same time.

• Cover the baking Rack with aluminum foil and use as a

baking sheet.

• Most 1 & 2 Qt. casserole dishes, 9-inch pie plates, and most

9x13 baking pans will fit into the Cookwell. Place dish on
baking rack for more even baking.

• Three 1-1/2 Qt. pans fit into the Cookwell. Ideal for

preparing meat, vegetables and potatoes at the same time.
When baking bread, either one or two loaf pans are
recommended.

• Convenience foods can be baked in the Roaster Oven.

Follow package directions.

STEAM

• No fat is used when steaming, so it’s an easy way to cook

tasty and nutritious low calorie foods.

SLOW COOK

• When slow cooking, heat is very gradual. This allows a very

slow simmer, which is aided by keeping the Cover on; no
stirring is necessary.

• To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking: for each

30 minutes required in a standard recipe, slow cook about
1-1/2 hours at 200°F to 250°F. 

• When slow cooking meats and poultry, it is not necessary to

use the Rack. The low temperature prevents the meat from
sticking to the bottom of the Cookwell.

• Remember, little moisture escapes during slow cooking, so

add additional liquid sparingly.
