Care And Cleaning
1. After the NESCO Roaster Oven has cooled, remove Cover, Rack
(if used) and Cookwell. Wash in warm sudsy water or place in the
dishwasher. CAUTION–do not put Cover in the dishwasher.
2. PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKWELL has a strong finish and provides
easy cleaning and years of use. It will not stain and stays attractive,
even when used often. However, it will chip if subjected to sharp
blows or is mistreated. Water spots or mineral deposits (characterized
by a white film on surface) may be removed with household vinegar
or non-abrasive cleansers.
3. NON-STICK COOKWELL is made of durable carbon steel. In order to
maintain the non-stick surface, the use of rubber, plastic or wooden
utensils is recommended. Avoid cutting food in the cookwell. Use of a
non-stick spray on the interior surface is optional. Avoid storing
items in the Cookwell which may scratch the surface. When roasting
or baking at high temperatures, you may notice an irregular band of
discoloration around the sidewalls of the Cookwell. This
discoloration is characteristic of the super tough non-stick coating
used on the interior of the Cookwell and in no way affects the
performance or durability of the finish. With continued use, the
discoloration will become less noticeable.
4. Cooked-on food may be removed by using a non-abrasive cleaning
pad and non-abrasive cleansers. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel
wool as porcelain enamel or non-stick finish may scratch. Use a
plastic scrubbing pad to remove stains or cooked-on foods, and also
to clean the steel Rack.
HINT: To easily remove baked-on food residue, place Cookwell in
Heatwell; then fill Cookwell with hot water. Cover and heat at 350ºF
for 30 minutes. Turn off and allow to cool completely. Wash cookwell
as directed above.
5. NEVER IMMERSE THE ROASTER OVEN IN WATER. To clean, wipe
outside of Roaster Oven with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleansers on exterior surface.
Helpful Hints
PREHEAT ROASTER OVEN FOR 20 MINUTES.
ROAST
• 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.
• A 3 lb. to 4 lb. roast with bone is the maximum size suggested for the
6 Quart Roaster Oven. Larger roasts, especially with a bone, may be difficult
to fit into the Cookwell. If meat and poultry are refrigerator cold, increase
cooking time about one-half hour. If frozen, allow an additional 15 to 20
minutes per 1 lb. cooking time.
• To sear meat: Preheat Roaster Oven at 425ºF. Add margarine. Cover, then
sear meat for 5 to 10 minutes per side until lightly browned. Stir ground
meat once. Time will vary depending on the quantity of meat.
