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.
