Steaming
Warming Rolls and Biscuits
The roaster oven can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or
casseroles like a conventional oven. Pans and dishes should be
placed on the rack for best heat circulation. Using the rack is also
recommended for convenience in removing hot dishes and pans
from 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.
Preheat roaster oven to 450ºF (232ºC). To steam in the roaster
oven, you will need a metal colander. Place rack in the roasting
pan. Place roasting pan in roaster oven. Pour 1 quart (946 ml)
boiling water into the roasting pan. Place food to be steamed
in the colander and place colander in roasting pan. Cover and
steam according to the chart times or until desired doneness.
Preheat roaster over to 250ºF (121ºC). You will need two small
ovenproof containers to hold water. Emptied and washed food cans are
perfect. Fill the cans two-thirds full with hot water and place in opposite
corners of the roasting pan.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in roasting pan. Do not let them touch
sides of pan. Cover and keep warm up to 1 hour.

Quantity Cooking
The roasting pan may be used as a large cooking utensil when cooking
or heating large quantities. 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 control at 400°F (204ºC) and the
roaster oven will warm vegetable beef soup from refrigerated
temperature to serving temperature in about 2 hours. To cook soups,
stews, or sauces, set the temperature control on 225°F (107ºC) and
allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer, depending on recipe.
