Preheat roaster oven to 250°F. You will
need two small ovenproof containers to
hold water. Emptied and washed food
cans are perfect. Fill the cans two-thirds
full with hot water and place in opposite corners of the insert pan. Stack rolls,
biscuits, or pancakes in insert pan. Do
not let them touch sides of pan. Cover
and keep warm up to one hour.
The insert pan may be used as a large
cooking utensil when cooking or heat-
ing large quantities, about 4 gallons. It
may be used to simmer sauces, soups, or
stews, or simply to heat or warm large
quantities. When cooking or heating
soups or stews in the roaster oven, stir
occasionally for quicker, even heating. For example, set the temperature con-
trol at 400°F and the roaster oven will
warm vegetable beef soup from refriger-
ated temperature to serving temperature
in about two hours. To cook soups,
stews, or sauces, set the temperature
control on 225°F and allow 4 to 8 hours
to simmer, depending on recipe.
Cleaning Your Roaster Oven

3. Wipe the inside of the roaster base
with a damp cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the roaster oven
