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.
