RECIPES
WARMING ROLLS, BISCUITS, ETC.
Preheat roaster oven to 250°F. You will need two small ovenproof containers to hold water such as
empty food cans. Fill the cans two-thirds full with hot water and place in opposite corners of the pan.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in the Roaster, making sure to not let them touch the sides of the
pan. Cover and keep warm for up to one hour.
COOKING LARGE QUANTITIES
The pan may be used for cooking or heating large quantities of food up to 4 gallons. Also, you can use
the pan to simmer sauces, soups, or stews, or simply to heat or warm large quantities of food. When
cooking or heating soups or stews in the Roaster, stir occasionally for quicker, even heating. For
example: Set the temperature control at 400°F and the Roaster will warm vegetable beef soup from
refrigerated 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 the recipe.
CLEANING YOUR ROASTER
1. Turn the temperature control to OFF, and unplug Roaster from the outlet. Allow the oven to cool.
2. Wash cover and rack in hot.soapy water. Use a nylon-scouring pad dipped in warm soapy water to
remove burned food. Then rinse in hot water, and dry.
3. Wipe the inside of the roaster base with a damp cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the Roaster with a damp, soapy cloth, and then dry.
NOTE: Never immerse roaster base in water or other liquid.
BAKING
The Roaster can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or casseroles just 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. Do not remove the
Roaster cover unless necessary. Removing the cover allows heat to escape and changes the
temperature of the Roaster.
STEAMING
Preheat Roaster to 450°F. To steam in the Roaster, you will need a stainless steel colander (strainer).
Place the rack in Roaster. Pour 1 quart of boiling water into the pan, and then place food to be
steamed in the colander, and then place colander in the Roaster. Cover and steam according to the
following times, or until desired preference.
