Nesco Roaster

The 6-quart cookwell is designed to serve up to six people comfortably. It is well-suited for family dinners, small gatherings, or preparing a whole chicken or a modest-sized roast.

Unlike traditional ovens that heat from the bottom only, this technology uses a heating element that wraps around the side of the cookwell. This ensures heat is distributed evenly from the sides, which helps keep food moist and prevents the uneven cooking often found in standard ovens.

Yes, it is quite versatile. Beyond roasting, you can use it for baking, steaming, slow cooking, and even as a warming station for serving. The adjustable temperature range of 200°F to 450°F allows you to handle a variety of cooking methods.

The cookwell is removable and features a durable porcelain enamel finish, which is generally resistant to sticking and easy to wipe down. Because it lifts out of the base, you can wash it in the sink much more easily than a standard oven interior.

The unit is designed with stay-cool side handles to make it safer to transport, but the exterior surface of the roaster will get hot during operation. Always use caution and oven mitts when handling the unit while it is on or cooling down.

The rack is optional but recommended for specific tasks. It is particularly useful for baking or oil-free roasting, as it elevates your food to allow hot air to circulate underneath, ensuring even browning and preventing the bottom of your food from sitting in juices.
