Recipes – Appetizers

Unless otherwise instructed, preheat roaster oven for 15 minutes to the temperature stated in the recipe.

If recipe calls for the use of a baking pan or dish, take the rack out of the oven. Preheat oven to desired temperature. Then place pan on the rack and then place both into the roaster oven. Bake as instructed in the recipe. The rack makes it easier to place or remove pans or dishes into or from the hot roaster oven.
