Tips for Using Your Roaster Oven
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and lid 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.
• 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. Most heat-resis-
tant glass casserole dishes fit in the
roaster oven.
• The insert pan must always be used
when cooking in the roaster oven
(except when using buffet pans). 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.
• 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 roaster oven.
• Foil oven roasting bags can be used
in the roaster oven. We do not rec-
ommend using plastic oven roasting
bags in the roaster oven.
• Do not remove the lid of the roaster
oven unless necessary. Removing the
lid allows heat to escape and affects
the temperature of the roaster oven.

• Unless otherwise instructed, preheat
roaster oven for 15 minutes to the
temperature stated in recipes.
• If a recipe calls for the use of a bak-
ing pan or dish, take the rack out of
the oven. Preheat oven to desired
temperature. Then place pan on the
rack and then place both into the
roaster oven. Bake as instructed in
recipe. The rack makes it easier to
place or remove pans or dishes in the
hot roaster oven.
NOTE: To use the buffet pans (on
select models) for serving, all recipes
must be cooked in the roaster oven,
then placed in the buffet pans to keep
warm and serve.

the roaster oven:
