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.
• 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.
• Food may be placed in a cold or preheated Roaster Oven. Follow recipe
directions for temperature settings.
• Cut-up meats and vegetables should be of uniform size pieces.
• Remember, little moisture escapes during slow cooking, so add additional
liquid sparingly.
