Care and Cleaning
1. After the Roaster Oven has cooled, remove Cover, Rack (if used) and
Cookwell. Wash in warm sudsy water or place Rack and Cookwell in the
dishwasher. CAUTION–DO NOT PUT COVER IN THE DISHWASHER.
2. Cooked-on food may be removed by using a non-abrasive cleaning pad
and non-abrasive cleansers. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool as
porcelain enamel or non-stick finish may scratch. Use a plastic scrubbing pad
to remove stains or cooked-on foods, and also to clean the Rack. HINT: To
easily remove baked-on food residue, place Cookwell in Heatwell; then fill
Cookwell with hot water. Cover and heat at 350ºF for 30 minutes. Turn off
and allow to cool completely. Wash cookwell as directed above.
3. NEVER IMMERSE THE ROASTER OVEN IN WATER. To clean, wipe outside of
Roaster Oven with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers on
exterior surface.
4. PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKWELL has a strong finish and provides easy
cleaning and years of use. It will stay attractive, even when used often.
However, it will chip if subjected to sharp blows or is mistreated. Water
spots or mineral deposits (characterized by a white film on surface) may be
removed with household vinegar or non-abrasive cleansers.
5. NON-STICK COOKWELL is made of durable carbon steel. In order to
maintain the non-stick surface, the use of rubber, plastic or wooden utensils
is recommended. Avoid cutting food in the cookwell. Use of a non-stick spray
on the interior surface is optional. Avoid storing items in the Cookwell which
may scratch the surface. When roasting or baking at high temperatures,
you may notice an irregular band of discoloration around the sidewalls of
the Cookwell. This discoloration is characteristic of the super tough, non-
stick coating used on the interior of the Cookwell and in no way affects the
performance or durability of the finish. With continued use, the discoloration
will become less noticeable.
Helpful Hints
• PREHEAT ROASTER OVEN FOR 20 MINUTES.
ROAST:
• Roasting meat in your Roaster Oven keeps it moist and tender.
• For additional browning, you can add 1 tsp. browning sauce to 1/4 Cup
melted butter or margarine and brush over skin before roasting.
• A 3 lb. to 4 lb. roast with bone is the maximum size suggested for the
Roaster Oven. Larger roasts, especially with a bone, may be difficult to fit
into the Cookwell. If meat and poultry are refrigerator cold, increase cooking
time about 30 minutes. If frozen, allow an additional 15 to 20 minutes per 1
lb. cooking time.
• To sear meat: Preheat Roaster Oven at 425ºF. Add margarine. Cover, then
sear meat for 5 to 10 minutes per side until lightly browned. Stir ground
meat once. Time will vary depending on the quantity of meat.
