Operation
Using Your Roaster Oven/Warmer
Baking
The roaster oven/warmer 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/warmer.
Steaming
Preheat roaster oven/warmer to 450ºF (230ºC).
To steam in the roaster oven/warmer, you will need
a metal colander. Place rack in the insert pan. Place
insert pan in roaster oven/warmer.
Item to Steam
2 cauliflower heads, cut up
2 bunches of broccoli, cut up
2 pounds (900 g) shrimp
Warming Rolls, Biscuits, etc.
Preheat roaster oven/warmer to 250ºF (120ºC). 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.
Quantity Cooking
The insert pan may be used as a large cooking utensil
when cooking or heating large quantities. 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/warmer,
stir occasionally for quicker, even heating.

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 (110ºC) and allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer,
depending on recipe.
