WARMING
To reheat rolls, biscuits,pancakes etc.:
You will need two (2) small ovenproof containers to hold water. Small coffee can or
food cans that have been emptied and washed will work very well.

°F.
2. Fill the two cans about two thirds full of hot water. Place at opposite ends of the
Cooking Pan.
3. Stack the rolls, biscuits, pancakes ,etc. in the Cooking Pan. Do not touch the sides
of the Cooking Pan with the items.
4. Cover and heat for up to one hour.
QUANTITY COOKING
The Cooking Pan can be used to cook or heat large quantities of foods about 4 gallons.
It may be used to simmer sauces, soups, stews or simply to heat or warm large
quantities.
When cooking or heating large quantities of soups, stews or sauces, be sure to stir often
to prevent sticking on the sides and quicker, more even heating. See examples below.
FOOD TEMP TIME
Vegetable Beef Soup 400° F 2 hours
(from refrigerated tem p.)
Soups, stews, sauces 225° F 4 to 8 hours
(dependent upon the recipe)

BAKING
NOTE: Baking pans should ALWAYS be placed on the Roasting Rack. Do not
place pans on bottom of Cooking Pan. This also allows for better heat
circulation when baking.
Metal pans are recommended to use in the oven when baking as they provide a
better heat transfer and browning.
When baking, we always recommend pre-heating the oven. Allow 15 - 20
minutes for pre-heating.
When first using your oven for baking, you may wish to lower the baking
temperature by 25
°F. The Smoker / Roaster Oven’s more compact interior heats
more efficiently than conventional ovens, so a lower temperature usually works
very well.
Note: Do not remove the Cover while baking. Removing the Cover allows heat
to escape and affects the temperature of the oven.
CAUTION: Use oven mitts or hot pads when removing food from oven. Rack
will be hot, allow to cool before removing.
