Description

This is the Nesco Roaster that everyone remembers. It's the one that Grandma had at home to cook the turkey at Thanksgiving. It’s also one of the most versatile cooking appliances available. It has all the outstanding features of our legendary 18-Quart standard model, at a price customers find hard to resist. For many, it's the primary kitchen oven. For others, a second oven for the family room, porch, or cabin. It's portable, so you can take it along for family outings. This unit is ideal for large meals and entertaining in the home. Roast a whole turkey, up to 22 pounds, pot roast, pork roast, ham, or whole chickens. Bake cookies, cakes, pies, quiche, even whole meals! Cook soups, stews, lasagna, and hot dishes. Make enough chili for the whole gang! Steam/poach vegetables, seafood, and poultry. Slow cooks less tender cuts of meat, too. Now you are ready to discover more ways to make meals that are both healthful and delicious. And, you are ready to experience first-hand the convenience and versatility of this compact portable electric cooking appliance. Nesco Roaster Ovens have a long tradition in family home cooking, starting in the 1930s. Yet, very few cooking appliances can demonstrate that they are as up-to-date and useful today as they were in the past. Nesco Roaster Ovens have truly kept pace with cooking styles, preferences, occasions and family sizes. In a short time, you will see the many ways to use your Roaster Oven. Its portability makes it a moveable main cooking appliance at some times, and a valued supplementary appliance at other times. Use it a home on your countertop in your kitchen (no more kitchen heat!) or in a covered patio, basement or garage or away from home in a cabin, RV or boat. Where you use your Roaster Oven, you can prepare a wide range of favorite foods in different ways - baked, slow-coked, roasted, steamed or poached. And serve your foods buffet style or at table-side, right in the Roaster Oven. Moist, good-tasting foods are yours because of Nesco's exclusive "Circle of Heat" construction. You'll taste the difference the first time you use your Roaster Oven. So, start cooking with Nesco. Explore all the ways to get the most out of this special home cooking appliance. HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR YOUR ROASTER OVEN 1. Unpack your Nesco Roaster Oven completely and remove all packaging material and information labels. Place the Roaster Oven in a well ventilated area on a heat resistant surface. Set the control dial to its minimum setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Return control to maximum setting (450-degrees F). Operate the Roaster Oven empty (without the cookwell or cover) for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappears. Some smoke and odor are a normal part of "curing" the element and will not reoccur in cooking use. When curing is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool. 2. Wash the cover, cookwell and rack in warm sudsy water, then rinse and dry. Refer to complete cleaning instructions in manual. 3. Non-stick cookwell: When 'curing' your Roaster Oven with a non-stick cookwell, we recommend that it be operated with cover and cookwell. Do this in a covered outside area or other well-ventilated area. After curing and cleaning, and before cooking in your non-stick cookwell for the first time, lightly coat the interior of the cookwell with vegetable oil. HELPFUL HINTS 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. To sear meat, preheat Roaster Oven at 450-degrees F. Add margarine. Cover, then sear meat for 10 to 15 minutes per side until lightly browned. Stir ground meat once. Time will vary depending on the quantity of meat. Alternative browning method for self-basting turkeys, preheat at 400-degrees F for 20 minutes. Roast bird for 1 hour at 400-degrees F. Reduce heat to 350-degrees using included time chart, 13-18 minutes per pound. During last hour of roasting increase temperature to 400-degrees and remove all excess juices in bottom of cookwell.

  • COOKS FOOD QUICKER THAN A CROCKPOT
Size: 6 quart Style: Porcelain Cookwell Color: White
This was a replacement. After a good 20 some yrs ours fell completely apart. It's a small version of big Nesco. We use it like a crock pot for those days you need food cooked quicker than a crockpot. It's also great for turkeys & hams. Frees up your oven for ThxGiving & Xmas. A nice bridal shower/wedding gift. ... show more

  • Great small roaster
Size: 6 quart Style: Porcelain Cookwell Color: White
I had the 18 at Nesco first and decided I needed a smaller one so I got its mini-me. This little roaster so far is pretty great. The first meal I made was a slow cooker recipe so I kept the temperate around 200F to 225F degrees for Low. It came out great! I used the roaster the next day to reheat the meal and again, perfect, no scorching. Clean up was easy. I like that the insert is much lighter than a traditional slow cooker. ... show more

  • Mixed feelings on this one.
I was looking for at least an 18 quart roaster for a large turkey and a large slab of corned beef that I have. I chose the Nesco roaster because of the long-standing name and the many positive reviews. The first one that I got had a defective foot and it wobbled. It looked like the foot had been put on an angle. I returned that one to Amazon for replacement. The second one was better, but had a mark on the back that I couldn't remove. Oh well, perfection isn't something that comes will most new appliances. So I tried it. My first use was a large slab of corned beef. I have cooked many corned beef dishes from the store, but this was one we got from a local farmer and it was larger than I could fit in any of my Dutch ovens. For the size, I figured 5-6 hours on slow cook high. I had no idea how long it would take to get the water to a boil. I put the corned beef into the roaster and not quite covered it with water. The water was not cold, but not boiling either. It took well over 2 hours to get the water to 200 degrees. This was my first disappointment because it pushed our dinner back a couple of hours. It did seem to hold the temperature well once it got there - even when I added the vegetables later. I had it set at 250 degrees to maintain a slow simmer. The meal came out well, but the corned beef was more stringy than others I have cooked in the past. At this point, I don't know if it was the cooker or the corned beef. After the meal was done, there was the clean-up. I am a stickler about getting things clean with no marks from cooking. With only a water based dish, the porcelain surface was not easy to clean. It took multiple tries with scrubbies to get off the marks from the water .I was going to return the cooker until I took a closer look at other cooker of this size. Most don't even have a light to indicate the cooker is to temperature. Most of them also seem to have the same porcelain coating. At least this one has that has a light that indicates it is on and has reached the set temperature. I also bought the stainless cookwell, and hopefully this one is easier to clean. I opted to keep this roaster oven be cause of the indicator light that others don't have and, from feedback on other units, it isn't worse than any others. It is also possible that is didn't quite measure up to the Ninja 3-in-1 cooking system that I have. Unfortunately, that one doesn't come in larger capacities. It's very possible that my disappointment in this oven is because I used one with more bells and whistles first. Also, the amount of water added to cook the corned beef was quite a lot. Even so, I don't think it would have taken over 2 hours to heat to boiling on the stove top. My next project with this roaster is to roast a large turkey. I will update this review after I do that. It may be much more effective for its roasting abilities. Update: I did purchase the stainless steel cookwell, and it made a world of difference in the cleanup. The stainless steel is so much easier to clean than the porcelain. I did roast a 17 pound turkey in this cooker following the instructions I found on a web site to roast at a higher temperature to brown and then turn the temperature down for the remainder of the cooking and not open the cover to check. I used a probe thermometer to monitor the temperature so I didn't have to open the cooker. When it was done, the turkey tasted excellent and moist, but it was not at all browned. Maybe some of the newer self-basting lids on other oven cooker work better for browning. ... show more

  • Powerful enough to slow cook in an unheated garage.
Size: 6 quart Style: Porcelain Cookwell Color: White
I like this Nesco 4816-14 Roaster (6 quart). I like to slow cook foods over many hours but I also like to make them flavorful which also makes them quite aromatic. A slow cooker in our house overwhelms me with strong aromas for hours and hours. It smells good for about the first 20 minutes but then I crave relief! I wanted to move the process to our separate unheated garage but a standard slow cooker didn't have enough power to maintain a 250º temperature when it was cold outside. So, I took a chance on this roaster. Sure enough, the instructions indicated that it is capable of doing just what I wanted to do by specifically mentioning in the instruction booklet that it is suitable for use in a garage. I've only used it twice so far but it worked great. One day had temps in the 20's but the Nesco roaster maintained a 250º temp in our closed garage. Now, I can go crazy with onions and spices and let it cook away for hours with total disregard for any persistent strong aromas. To me, the food tastes better when I haven't been forced to smell it all day or night. Nesco claims it has that "circle of heat." I presume they are the only ones? I don't know. But, it certainly seems like a great idea that will keep me loyal to the Nesco brand. It means that the heating elements aren't on the bottom so as to cause burning of the food. Nesco says their heating elements encircle the cooking area from the side so there's less chance of burning. The cookwell is black porcelain. It cleans easily if you soak it and this one perfectly sits diagonally submerged in our standard sized kitchen sink. Nesco warns that, as porcelain cookware is known to do, it will discolor a bit where liquids and such touch the material. Even on the first use, the cookwell developed a cloudy "ring" at the liquid level and there were immediately some cloudy spots where drips of liquid had contacted the cookwell. They say it's only cosmetic. I guess that is so. It still cleaned up easily after soaking. I have to admit, I've got some black porcelain roaster pans for my gas oven that have also discolored in the same way. They've been fine for years so I'm not worried about the Nesco cookwell. I would purchase an upgraded model, however, if it was offered in stainless steel with a stainless steel cookwell. I like stainless. If I'm in a hurry, I don't have to wait for a soak. Stainless steel lets me immediately go to work with scrapers and a stainless steel scrubbing pad and get the job done quickly. You can't use anything but plastic scrubbers on porcelain, so, porcelain requires that soak time. There is a stainless steel roaster with a stainless steel cookwell in the Nesco product line but it is 18 quarts. That's too much for many of the small meals and roasts that I prepare. A bigger roaster requires a lot more broth and other ingredients to accomodate the larger size of the roaster no matter what quantity of food you may wish to cook. I do more "moist" cooking with liquids over a long period of time than purely "roasting" with dry heat. This Nesco 4816-14 Roaster (6 quart) uses about 600 watts. That means my electric garage door opener won't blow a fuse while the roaster is operating. Nice. (I keep repeating the model number because Amazon and blogs that plagiarize these reviews will sometimes jumble reviews for one product into another product's reviews. I'm trying to help keep this review identifiable.) ... show more
