You are going to enjoy your Nesco Electric Roaster, for it is thoroughly modern in every respect—a practical, efficient and dependable worker.


With Your Nesco, you can prepare complete oven meals—meat, vegetables and dessert, all cooked at one time by electricity, the safe, clean and thrifty way. It will also roast, broil, steam and bake to perfection. And for foods which require long, slow cooking, such as baked beans, stews and soups, it is unsurpassed. The automatic thermostat permits you to select the temperature desired, just as on any modern range.


Best of all, it is easy to learn how to use this Nesco Electric Roaster. Only a few simple rules need be remembered. As for recipes, you can keep right on using your old favorites and standbys, with a few minor changes in time and temperature in certain instances. The recipes given in this manual are merely basic. From them, other recipes of the same general type can be readily adapted for use in the Nesco.


First of all, however, be sure to read the introductory pages of this Manual, and identify the various parts of the roaster and its accessories—what they are for and when and how each is used. After that, specific directions for each type of cooking are given under the appropriate classification of recipes. Every recipe included has been individually tested in our experimental kitchen.
