Created by Nesco, this versatile roaster oven and buffet set gives you the power of a range without the bulk or energy use. Great for portable feasts or complicated meals that require multiple cooking units, the roaster bakes, cooks, roasts, steams, slow cooks, and serves. Nesco's "Circle of Heat" cooking element combines with the oven's thick insulation and automatic temperature control to deliver consistent and well-distributed heat. In addition, the high-domed, heavy-gauge aluminum lid retains moisture and self-bastes throughout the cooking process. Temperature is fully adjustable from 125 to 425 degrees F, and the control panel features a helpful guide for numerous categories of food ranging from ribs to cake. The roaster's nonstick cookwell is durable steel coated with porcelain enamel, and the included chrome-plated steel rack is ideal for roasting and baking. Large enough to handle a 22-pound turkey, the roaster also transforms into a buffet server with three 3-quart pans, suitable for a taco feed or a large-scale brunch. When cooking's finished, the cookwell removes to store food in the refrigerator or run through the dishwasher for quick cleaning. Sized to hold up to 18 quarts, the unit carries a one-year warranty.
