Quantity Cooking
The insert pan may be used as a large cooking utensil when cooking or heat- ing large quantities, about 4 gallons. It may be used to simmer sauces, soups, or stews, or simply to heat or warm large quantities. When cooking or heating soups or stews in the roaster oven, stir occasionally for quicker, even heating.
For example, set the temperature con- trol at 400°F and the roaster oven will warm vegetable beef soup from refriger- ated temperature to serving temperature in about two hours. To cook soups, stews, or sauces, set the temperature control on 225°F and allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer, depending on recipe.
