HINTS FOR COOK
•
Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire
browning, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior
to starting the cooking process.
•
Whole herbs and spices flavor better than crushed or ground.
•
Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than
foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
HINTS FOR ROAST
•
One teaspoon of browning sauce such as Kitchen Bouquet
®
may be
added to
1
⁄
4
cup melted butter and brushed onto meat for additional
browning.
HINTS FOR BAKE
•
To obtain more evenly baked foods, place the rack inside the liner and
place baking pans and casserole dishes on top of rack during cooking.

The liner and rack will hold the following size pans for baking: most
1 and 2 quart casserole dishes, 8 and 9 inch baking pans, 9 x 13 inch
baking pans, 12 cup muffin pan, and 8 and 9 inch pie pans. Check pan
for fit before filling.
•
Cover rack with heavy duty foil and use as a baking sheet.
HINTS FOR STEAM COOK
•
Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly.
•
If you wish your vegetables to be more tender, add more water and turn
roaster oven back on, checking occassionally, until done to your liking.
CLEANING YOUR ROASTER OVEN
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OR CORD IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID.
1. Turn control knob to minimum and unplug. Allow to cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Wash lid, liner and rack in warm soapy water. Use a non-abrasive
cleaning pad and cleaner. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads to clean the liner, rack or lid, as they may
damage the surface. If food sticks to the liner, place liner in base and fill
with water. Cover and turn control knob to steam for 30 minutes. When
time is complete, turn control knob to minimum position, unplug and
allow to cool completely before cleaning again.
3. Wipe interior and exterior of the base with a soft, slightly damp cloth or
sponge. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the base,
as they may damage the surface.
4. Allow to dry thoroughly before storing.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must
be performed by an authorized service center.
