Tips for Using Your Roaster Oven

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and lid before using. During the first use of the roaster oven, some smoke and odor may be noticed. The smoke and odor should not occur after this first heating of the oven.

•Before baking or roasting in the roaster oven, make sure the pan or dish you plan to use will fit by placing it in the insert pan. Most heat-resis- tant glass casserole dishes fit in the roaster oven.

•The insert pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster oven (except when using buffet pans). If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the insert pan may be used as the cooking pan in the roaster base. It may also be used as a large roasting pan in the roaster base.

•Do not use the insert pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the insert pan when cooking these foods.

•Baking pans and casserole dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. If necessary, the rack can be removed to fit a large roasting pan or two casseroles in roaster oven.

•Foil oven roasting bags can be used in the roaster oven. We do not rec- ommend using plastic oven roasting bags in the roaster oven.

•Do not remove the lid of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the lid allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.

Pan Sizes!

Following are pan sizes which will fit in the roaster oven:

•One 9 x 13-inch (23x33 cm) baking or 10 x 14-inch (26x35 cm) roasting pan

•Two 9 x 5-inch (23x13 cm)

or 8 x 4-inch (20x20 cm) loaf pans
