WITH HINGED COVER  
USE/CARE AND RECIPE GUIDE  
 
HEATWELL and BODY. The sides of the 18-Qt. Roaster

Introduction  
Get To Know Your 18-Qt. NESCO Roaster Oven  
Now you are ready to discover more ways to make meals that  
are both healthful and delicious. And you are now ready to  
experience first-hand the convenience and versatility of this  
compact portable electric cooking appliance.  
COVER. Heavy gauge high-profile aluminum Cover is  
designed to control heat and moisture efficiently. Two vent-  
holes are provided to allow just the right amount of moisture  
to escape during cooking. Hinged cover can be positioned into  
the slot on the back edge of the Cookwell for convenient  
hands-free placement while stirring or serving. During the  
cooking process, steam will accumulate inside the cookwell.  
Always stand to the side when removing the lid, and tilt cover  
away to divert escaping steam.  
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL. Regulates  
cooking temperature to maintain the dial setting in the  
Roaster interior.  
Take a few minutes to read through this Guide. You’ll find out  
how to better use the Roaster Oven. And you’ll find a selection  
of healthful and fun recipes – all carefully tried and tested for  
your enjoyment.  
SIGNAL LIGHT. The glow of the light indicates the Roaster  
is heating. When the desired temperature is reached, signal  
light goes out. It goes off and on during cooking indicating  
that the temperature is automatically maintained.  
The NESCO Roaster Ovens have a long tradition in family  
home cooking, beginning the the 1930s. Yet, very few cooking  
appliances can demonstrate that they are as up-to-date and  
useful today as they were in the past. NESCO Roaster Ovens  
have truly kept pace with cooking styles, preferences,  
occasions and family sizes.  
RACK. A chrome-plated steel or non-stick Rack provides  
cooking flexibility. The Rack fits into the Cookwell and has  
convenient lift-out handles.  
TEMPERATURE GUIDE. The conveniently placed guide  
gives recommended temperatures for commonly roasted foods.  
COOKWELL. Cookwell has a full 18-Quart capacity. The  
revolutionary QuanTaniumsurface is the first non-stick  
reinforced with space age titanium. QuanTanium provides  
maximum resistance to wear and abrasion, and is safe to use  
with all metal utensils. Cookwell is removable for easy clean-  
up in the dishwasher or sink, or for food storage in the  
refrigerator.  
In a short time, you will see the many ways to use your  
18-Qt. Roaster Oven. Its portability makes it a movable main  
cooking appliance at some times, and a valued  
supplementary appliance at other times. Use it at home on  
your countertop in your kitchen (no more kitchen heat!)...or  
in a covered patio, basement or garage...or away from home  
in a cabin. Whenever you use your Roaster Oven, you can  
prepare a wide range of favorite foods in different ways: baked,  
slow cooked, roasted, steamed or poached. And serve your  
foods buffet-style or at table-side, right in the Roaster Oven.  
Moist and good tasting foods are yours because of NESCO’s  
special CIRCLE OF HEAT® construction. You will taste the  
difference the very first time you use the Roaster Oven.

How To Use And Care For  
To Operate Your Roaster Oven  
Care And Cleaning  
Your 18-Qt. NESCO Roaster Oven  
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
1. Place the Cookwell into the Heatwell. Always use the  
Cookwell for food. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR  
WATER DIRECTLY IN THE HEATWELL.  
2. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the  
Cookwell into the Heatwell and cover. Be sure the  
temperature control is turned to the lowest setting, and  
plug the cord into the 120 volt AC outlet. Set the  
temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat 20  
minutes or until red signal light goes off. Carefully, using  
hot pads, add food to the Cookwell.  
1. After the NESCO Roaster Oven has cooled, remove Cover,  
Rack (if used) and Cookwell. Wash Rack and  
Cookwell in warm sudsy water or place 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 a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Soft  
Scrub® or Bon Ami®. Do not use abrasive cleansers or  
steel wool as the finish may scratch. HINT: To easily  
remove baked-on food residue, place Cookwell in  
Heatwell; then fill Cookwell with hot water. Cover and  
heat at 350°F for 30 minutes. Turn off and allow to cool  
completely. Wash Cookwell as directed above.  
1. Unpack your NESCO Roaster Oven completely. Remove  
the Cookwell and remove all packing materials and  
information labels. Place the Roaster Oven in a  
well-ventilated area on a heat resistant surface.  
Set the temperature control dial to its minimum setting.  
Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet, set the control  
dial to its maximum setting 450°F. Operate the Roaster  
Oven empty (without the Cookwell and Cover) for about  
60 minutes, or until any odor or smoke disappears. Some  
smoke and odor is a normal part of “curing” the heating  
element, and will not occur while cooking. When curing  
is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest  
setting, unplug the unit, and allow it to cool.  
3. The Rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting.  
Other foods, such as meats, soups and stews, are prepared  
without the Rack.  
4. Replace the Cover. Always cook with the Cover in place.  
5. If the Roaster Oven has not been preheated, turn the  
temperature control to Off. Plug the cord into a 120 volt  
AC outlet. Set the temperature control to the desired  
temperature. Fill the Cookwell with food as desired.  
6. Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When  
finished, turn the temperature control to lowest setting  
and unplug the cord from the 120 volt AC outlet. Allow  
the Roaster Oven to cool, and clean as recommended .  
NOTE: COOKWELL, COVER AND ACCUMULATED  
STEAM WILL BE HOT. USE CAUTION, AND HOT  
PADS, TO LIFT COVER OR REMOVE COOKWELL  
FROM HEATWELL.  
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.  
2. Wash the Cover, Cookwell and Rack in warm, sudsy water.  
Rinse and dry. See “Care and Cleaning” section for  
complete cleaning instructions.  
4. The revolutionary QuanTaniumsurface is the first non-  
stick reinforced with space age titanium. QuanTanium  
provides maximum resistance to wear and abrasion, and  
is safe to use with all metal utensils. It will stay attractive,  
not stain and provide easy cleaning and years of use.  
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  
cleanser. Helpful Hints  
The Roaster Oven Cookwell is easily removed after cooking for clean up.  
Just wash it in warm sudsy water or place in the dishwasher.

BAKE  
STEAM  
Helpful Hints  
ROASTER OVEN SHOULD ALWAYS  
BE PREHEATED FOR 20 MINUTES.  
• Use the baking rack to place casserole dishes and baking  
pans on during cooking time. This will allow for more  
even baking.  
• No fat is used when steaming, so it’s an easy way to cook  
tasty and nutritious low calorie foods.  
• Two loaf pans will fit into the Cookwell. A meat and a  
vegetable, or two loaves of bread, may be baked at the  
same time.  
• Cover the baking Rack with aluminum foil and use as a  
baking sheet.  
• Most 1 & 2 Qt. casserole dishes, 9-inch pie plates, and most  
9x13 baking pans will fit into the Cookwell. Place dish on  
baking rack for more even baking.  
• Three 1-1/2 Qt. pans fit into the Cookwell. Ideal for  
preparing meat, vegetables and potatoes at the same time.  
When baking bread, either one or two loaf pans are  
recommended.  
ROAST  
SLOW COOK  
• Roasting meat in your NESCO Roaster Oven keeps it moist  
and tender. For additional browning, you can add 1/2 Tsp.  
browning sauce to oil or margarine and brush over skin  
before roasting.  
• When slow cooking, heat is very gradual. This allows a very  
slow simmer, which is aided by keeping the Cover on; no  
stirring is necessary.  
• To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking: for each  
30 minutes required in a standard recipe, slow cook about  
1-1/2 hours at 200°F to 250°F.  
• When slow cooking meats and poultry, it is not necessary to  
use the Rack. The low temperature prevents the meat from  
sticking to the bottom of the Cookwell.  
• Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them very  
tender. Adding a gravy or sauce will make them extra  
flavorful.  
• To sear meat, Preheat Roaster Oven at 450°F. Add  
margarine, Cover, then sear meat for 10 to 15 minutes per  
side until lightly browned. Stir ground meat once. Time will  
vary depending on the quantity of meat.  
• Alternative browning method for self-basting turkeys: Follow  
recipe directions with these exceptions: Preheat NESCO  
Roaster Oven and set temperature at 400°F. Roast turkey at  
400°F for the first hour. Reduce heat to 350°F using time in  
recipe, 13 to 18 minutes per pound. During the last hour of  
roasting, remove all juice from Cookwell and return  
temperature to 400°F.  
• Remember, little moisture escapes during slow cooking, so  
add additional liquid sparingly.  
• Convenience foods can be baked in the Roaster Oven.  
Follow package directions.  
The Automatic  
Temperature Control  
provides a wide range  
of temperature settings  
which allow you to slow  
cook, cook, roast, bake,  
steam – as well as sear  
and brown foods.  
COOK  
• Cut-up meats and vegetables should be of uniform size  
pieces.  
• Remember, little moisture escapes during slow cooking so  
add additional liquid sparingly.
