Tips for Using Your Roaster 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 roasting pan. Most
heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the roaster oven.
• The roasting pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster
oven. If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the roasting
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 roasting pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for
cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the
roasting 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
recommend 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 baking pan or dish, take the rack
out of the roaster 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.
