Consumer Safety Information
PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!
THE ROASTER OVEN COOKS
SOME FOODS FASTER THAN A
CONVENTIONAL OVEN.
This roaster oven is not intended for
commercial, professional, or industrial-
type usage. This roaster oven is designed
only for cooking food. It should not be
used for melting wax. This appliance
is designed, built, and intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the roaster oven. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

Pan Sizes!
Following are pan sizes which will fit in
the roaster oven:
• One 9 x 13-inch baking or
10 x 14-inch roasting pan
• Two 9 x 5-inch or 8 x 4-inch loaf pans
• One tube or bundt pan
Using Your Roaster Oven
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and cover 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.
Tips About Your Roaster Oven
• The insert pan must always be used
when cooking in the roaster oven. 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.
• Most heat-resistant glass casserole
dishes fit in the roasting oven. Place
in insert pan before filling dish to
make sure it fits.
• 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
the roaster 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.
• Foil oven roasting bags can be used
in the roaster oven. We do not
recommend using plastic oven
roasting bags in the roaster oven.
• Do not remove the cover of the
roaster oven unless necessary.
Removing the cover allows heat to
escape and affects the temperature
of the roaster oven.
• The indicator light will cycle on and
off when the oven is heating to
maintain set temperature.

How to Use
Notes!
• The insert pan should always be placed
in the roaster base when cooking.
• If the recipe calls for a preheated oven,
set the temperature control to desired
temperature. The red indicator light
will go out when the oven has reached
the set temperature.
1. Make sure temperature control is
turned to OFF. Plug cord into
120 volt AC outlet.
2. Remove rack. Leave insert pan in
roaster oven.
3. Set temperature control to desired
setting and let preheat 15 minutes.
4. Place food to be cooked in a pan
on the rack (or directly in the insert
pan). Then place rack in oven and
replace the cover.
5. When finished cooking, remove
cover. Wearing oven mitts, remove
food by using the rack.
6. Turn temperature control to OFF
and unplug roaster oven.
• We recommend the use of a meat
thermometer to assure perfectly
cooked roasts and poultry every time.
If using a meat thermometer, the
meat or poultry should be removed
from the roaster oven when the ther-
mometer reading is 5 to 10 degrees
below the desired temperature. The
internal temperature will continue to
rise after the meat has been removed
from the roaster oven.
• Most hams sold today are labeled
as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully
Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before
Eating” has been smoked or cured
but NOT cooked. This ham must be
thoroughly cooked to an internal tem-
perature of 155 to 160°F. The “Fully
Cooked” hams have been smoked or
cured and already cooked. The ham
does not require further cooking, but
heating to 140°F improves the flavor.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less
time than conventional ovens. A 14 to
18 pound unstuffed turkey will cook in
approximately 21⁄2hours. A turkey
cooked in the roaster oven is moist
and juicy, but does not brown. If you
want a turkey with browned skin,
please use the Turkey Browning
Sauce in the “Recipe” section.
• The Roasting Chart lists cooking
times for tender cuts of meat that
are usually dry-roasted. These roasts
are from the rib or sirloin area. To ten-
derize cuts from the leg (ham) or
shoulder/chuck area, cook in liquid
for a longer period of time.
• Times indicated are approximate and
should be used only as a general
guideline. Individual cuts of meat and
personal preference may dictate
longer or shorter roasting times.

Baking
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 cover of the roaster
oven unless necessary. Removing
the cover allows heat to escape and
effects the temperature of the roaster
oven.

Quantity Cooking
Warming Rolls, Biscuits, etc.
Preheat roaster over to 250ºF. 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 insert pan.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in
insert pan. Do not let them touch sides
of pan. Cover and keep warm up to
one hour.
The insert pan may be used as a
large cooking utensil when cooking or
heating large quantities, about
4 gallons. 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 and the roaster oven
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 recipe.
Cleaning Your Roaster Oven
1. Turn temperature control to OFF.
Unplug roaster oven from outlet and
let cool.
2. Wash cover, rack, and insert pan
in hot, soapy water. To remove
burned-on food, let soak, then scrub
with a nylon scouring pad. Rinse in
hot water, then dry.
3. Wipe the inside of the roaster base
with a damp cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the roaster oven
with a damp, soapy cloth; then dry.
NOTE: Never immerse roaster base in
water or other liquid.

Main Dish/Entrees
Quick Roast Turkey
The roaster oven cooks a turkey in about half the time of a regular oven, but use
a meat thermometer to make sure your turkey is thoroughly cooked. The roaster
oven DOES NOT brown a turkey. The constant dripping of condensation from the
cover of the roaster prevents the turkey from browning but also produces a turkey
that is moist and juicy.
14 to 18 pound fresh or thawed turkey
1 onion, cut in half
2 stalks celery
Remove the rack. Pour 1⁄2cup water into the insert pan, cover and preheat to 325ºF.
Remove giblets and neck from cavities of turkey. Set aside and use for giblet
gravy. Rinse bird inside and out with cold water. Place onion and celery inside
turkey. Rub outside with salt and pepper. Place on rack. Brush whole turkey with
butter. Place in roaster. Cover and cook at 325ºF for 2 to 21⁄2hours. Check meat
thermometer reading. Continue cooking until meat thermometer registers 180ºF.
Turkey Browning Sauce
For turkey with a brown skin, use the following recipe before cooking:
1⁄4cup melted butter or margarine
11⁄2teaspoons browning sauce, like Kitchen Bouquet
1 teaspoon paprika
Wash turkey with cold water. Pat dry. Paint turkey with the browning mixture and
cook as directed.
Whole Baked Ham
15 pound fully-cooked smoked ham
2 cups water
1⁄2cup honey
Trim thick part of fat off of ham, down to 1⁄4-inch. Score remaining layer of fat into
diamond design; this will help hold glaze. Place ham on rack and place in roaster.
Pour 2 cups water into insert pan. Cover and roast at 325ºF for 1 hour. Combine
remaining ingredients to make glaze. Remove cover and spoon half of glaze over
ham. Cover and bake 1 more hour. Remove cover and spoon remaining glaze
over ham. Replace cover, increase temperature to 400ºF and bake for 10 minutes
to set glaze.
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2teaspoon pepper
1⁄4cup butter, melted
1⁄2cup orange juice
