SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Other Consumer Safety Information
This roaster oven is not intended for commercial, professional, or industrialtype usage. This roaster oven is designed only for cooking food. It should not be used for melting wax. This appliance
is designed, built, and intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the roaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Using Your Roaster Oven
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and cover before using. During the first use of the roaster oven, some smoke and odor may be noticed. The smoke and odor should not occur after this first heating of the oven.
Tips About Your Roaster Oven
•The insert pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster oven. If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the insert pan may be used as the cooking pan in the roaster base. It may also be used as a large roasting pan in the roaster base.
•Do not use the insert pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the insert
pan when cooking these foods.
•Most heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the roasting oven. Place in insert pan before filling dish to make sure it fits.
•Baking pans and casserole dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. If necessary, rack can be removed to fit a large roasting pan or two casseroles in roaster oven.
•Before baking or roasting in the roaster oven, make sure the pan or dish you plan to use will fit by placing it in the insert pan.
•Foil oven roasting bags can be used in the roaster oven. We do not recommend using plastic oven roasting bags in the roaster oven.
•Do not remove the cover of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the cover allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.
•The indicator light will cycle on and off when the oven is heating to maintain set temperature.
Pan Sizes!
Following are pan sizes which will fit in the roaster oven:
• One 9 x 13-inch baking or
10 x 14-inch roasting pan
•Two 9 x 5-inch or 8 x 4-inch loaf pans
•One tube or bundt pan

How to Use
Notes!
•The insert pan should always be placed in the roaster base when cooking.
•If the recipe calls for a preheated oven, set the temperature control to desired temperature. The red indicator light will go out when the oven has reached the set temperature.
1.Make sure temperature control is turned to OFF. Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet.
2.Remove rack. Leave insert pan in roaster oven.
3.Set temperature control to desired setting and let preheat 15 minutes.
4.Place food to be cooked in a pan on the rack (or directly in the insert pan). Then place rack in oven and replace the cover.
5.When finished cooking, remove cover. Wearing oven mitts, remove food by using the rack.
6.Turn temperature control to OFF and unplug roaster oven.
Roasting
Roasting Meats and Poultry
•We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to assure perfectly cooked roasts and poultry every time. If using a meat thermometer, the meat or poultry should be removed from the roaster oven when the thermometer reading is 5 to 10 degrees below the desired temperature. The internal temperature will continue to rise after the meat has been removed from the roaster oven.
•Most hams sold today are labeled as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before Eating” has been smoked or cured but NOT cooked. This ham must be thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 155 to 160°F. The “Fully Cooked” hams have been smoked or cured and already cooked. The ham does not require further cooking, but heating to 140°F improves the flavor.
•The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional ovens. A 14 to 18 pound unstuffed turkey will cook in approximately 21⁄2 hours. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is moist and juicy, but does not brown. If you want a turkey with browned skin, please use the Turkey Browning Sauce in the “Recipe” section.
•The Roasting Chart lists cooking times for tender cuts of meat that are usually dry-roasted. These roasts
are from the rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck area, cook in liquid for a longer period of time.
•Times indicated are approximate and should be used only as a general guideline. Individual cuts of meat and personal preference may dictate longer or shorter roasting times.

Baking
The roaster oven can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or casseroles like a conventional oven. Pans and dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. Using the rack is also recommended for convenience in removing hot dishes and pans from the roaster oven.
Do not remove the cover of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing
the cover allows heat to escape and effects the temperature of the roaster oven.
Steaming
Preheat roaster oven to 450ºF. To steam in the roaster oven, you will need a stainless steel colander. Place rack in the insert pan. Place insert pan in roaster oven. Pour 1 quart boiling
water into the insert pan. Place food to be steamed in the colander and place colander in insert pan. Cover and steam according to the following times or until desired doneness.

Preheat roaster over to 250ºF. You will need two small ovenproof containers to hold water. Emptied and washed food cans are perfect. Fill the cans two-thirds full with hot water and place
in opposite corners of the insert pan. Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in insert pan. Do not let them touch sides of pan. Cover and keep warm up to
one hour. |

Quantity Cooking
The insert pan may be used as a large cooking utensil when cooking or heating large quantities, about
4 gallons. It may be used to simmer sauces, soups, or stews, or simply to heat or warm large quantities. When cooking or heating soups or stews in the roaster oven, stir occasionally for quicker, even heating.
For example, set the temperature control at 400°F and the roaster oven will warm vegetable beef soup from refrigerated temperature to serving temperature in about two hours. To cook soups, stews, or sauces, set the temperature control on 225°F and allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer, depending on recipe.
Cleaning Your Roaster Oven
1.Turn temperature control to OFF. Unplug roaster oven from outlet and let cool.
2.Wash cover, rack, and insert pan in hot, soapy water. To remove
burned-on food, let soak, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Rinse in hot water, then dry.
3.Wipe the inside of the roaster base with a damp cloth.
4.Wipe the outside of the roaster oven with a damp, soapy cloth; then dry.
NOTE: Never immerse roaster base in water or other liquid.
Roaster Oven Recipes
Unless otherwise instructed, preheat roaster oven for 15 minutes to the temperature stated in the recipe.
If recipe calls for the use of a baking pan or dish, take the rack out of the oven. Preheat oven to desired temperature. Then place pan on the rack and then place both into the roaster oven. Bake as instructed in the recipe. The rack makes it easier to place or remove pans or dishes in the hot roaster oven.

Main Dish/Entrees
Quick Roast Turkey
The roaster oven cooks a turkey in about half the time of a regular oven, but use a meat thermometer to make sure your turkey is thoroughly cooked. The roaster oven DOES NOT brown a turkey. The constant dripping of condensation from the cover of the roaster prevents the turkey from browning but also produces a turkey that is moist and juicy.
14 to 18 pound fresh or thawed turkey |
1 teaspoon salt |
|
1 onion, cut in half |
1⁄2 |
teaspoon pepper |
2 stalks celery |
1⁄4 |
cup butter, melted |
Remove the rack. Pour 1⁄2 cup water into the insert pan, cover and preheat to 325ºF. Remove giblets and neck from cavities of turkey. Set aside and use for giblet gravy. Rinse bird inside and out with cold water. Place onion and celery inside turkey. Rub outside with salt and pepper. Place on rack. Brush whole turkey with butter. Place in roaster. Cover and cook at 325ºF for 2 to 21⁄2 hours. Check meat thermometer reading. Continue cooking until meat thermometer registers 180ºF.
Turkey Browning Sauce
For turkey with a brown skin, use the following recipe before cooking:
1⁄4 cup melted butter or margarine
11⁄2 teaspoons browning sauce, like Kitchen Bouquet 1 teaspoon paprika
