Amazon.com Review

Perfect for big families and occasions when kitchen oven space isn't sufficient, this portable 1,425-watt roaster oven roasts, cooks, bakes, steams, and slow cooks any food imaginable--from 200 to 450 degrees F. It's big enough for roasting a 22-pound turkey, cooking 18 quarts of chili for the soccer team, baking two loaves of bread, steaming lots of vegetables or several lobsters, and slow cooking a beef stew. Measuring 22-1/2 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 12 inches high overall, the roaster has a removable nonstick cooking pan that is 17-1/4 inches long, 11-1/2 inches wide, and 5-1/4 inches deep. An additional 2 to 3 inches of depth is provided by a domed, vented lid. Included is a nonstick roasting rack (with handles) that also lifts casserole dishes and baking pans and sheets off the bottom. A wraparound heating element ensures even, moist heat. A cooking-time guide and recipes accompany the roaster, which carries a one-year warranty against defects. It's even attractive enough to take to the table for serving. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Since 1932 the Nesco brand name has been synonymous with Roaster Ovens. With a Nesco Roaster Oven you can roast, bake, cook, steam, slow cook and serve. Other than broiling, the Nesco Roaster Oven can do anything a normal oven can do but better and with less energy usage and less heat generated in the kitchen. The Roaster Oven is portable so you can make great tasting meals wherever you go. The exclusive "Circle of Heat" heating element wraps around for moist, even cooking. The automatic temperature control maintains even cooking temperatures from 200 degrees to 450 degrees. Removable steel rack has easy lift out handles and the design allows for better baking and fat-free roasting. The 18 qt size is designed to hold up to a 22 lb Turkey so it large enough for family gatherings and other social events. Non-stick removable cookwell. New Ivory Color. Recipe guide and use / care included.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far, the best way to roast a turkey!, November 24, 2002

Our primary use for this great roaster is for cooking the Thanksgiving turkey each year, but it also has a multitude of other uses.

Nesco roasters are such a part of my family's history that I thought everyone owned one. When there were family reunions, we'd see many of these, holding everything from hot potato salad to baked beans, to burgers and brats to keep them warm before the meal starts.

Back to the turkey, however. In the 10 years that my wife and I have been hosting Thanksgiving for our families, we've never had a bad turkey come out of the Nesco. When I hear stories about dried-out birds in standard ovens, I can't relate, since I've never had any need to roast a turkey or ham in the oven.

The Nesco roaster keeps the food moist while cooking evenly. There's not much more you can ask from a roaster, and this does it with ease!

This review is from: Nesco 4808-14-30 Classic Roaster Oven, 18-Quart, Non-stick Cookwell, Ivory (Kitchen)

I grew up in central Wisconsin, and there were three articles of faith that everyone took for granted---the Green Bay Packers, International Harvestor trucks and tractors, and Nesco roasters.

Well, the Pack have had their ups and downs, and IH is out of business, but Nesco still makes a great cooker (made in China now, unfortunately), that can handle anything, including pies, cookies, chili, booyah, the Thanksgiving turkey and the Christmas ham. Forget the Cuisinart, ditch the microwave oven, lose the high-end Viking gas oven. Yeah, they draw a lot of electricity (1,435 watts), but I truly feel sorry for anyone who has to muddle through life without one.
