Nesco Roaster Ovens have a long tradition in family home
cooking, starting in the 1930s. Yet, very few cooking appliances
can demonstrate that they are as up-to-date and useful today as
they were in the past. Nesco Roaster Ovens have truly kept pace

Oven. Its portability makes it a moveable main cooking appliance
at some times, and a valued supplementary appliance at other
times. Use it a home on your countertop in your kitchen (no more
kitchen heat!) or in a covered patio, basement or garage or away
from home in a cabin, RV or boat. Where you use your Roaster
Oven, you can prepare a wide range of favorite foods in different
ways - baked, slow-coked, roasted, steamed or poached. And serve
your foods buffet style or at table-side, right in the Roaster

this special home cooking appliance.
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.
