Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco 4816-25-30PR Professional 6-Quart Stainless Steel Roaster Oven with Glass Cover, Non-Stick CookwellCustomer Review: Dump the Slowcooker.... Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this as a gift for my daughter. During several visits with her and her family of 3 we used the roaster oven and always got terrific results. Everything she and I cooked in the Nesco came out fabulous and did not require alot of attention or fuss. It was so impressive I purchased another as a wedding gift.
I did not realize it is also a slowcooker/crockpot when I originally purchased this for my DD. I went to youtube and looked at the videos and also went to the Nesco website for more information on cooking with this Roaster oven. I was surprised at the range of uses for the cooker. This item is a boon for a fulltime rver such as myself.
The Roaster oven can bake on a countertop which provides a second oven. On the low setting it functions as a slowcooker/crockpot. It can also be used on a table top outdoors. I do place my Range Kleen SM1720SWR Sm1720Swr- 17''X 20'' Silverwave Counter Mat underneath the unit ( my DD does likewise) as it does produce heat on the bottom. The sides of the unit get hot also so use a potholder when handling. The cooker is still very easy to take to get-togethers.
I ordered the non-stick cookwell for my daughter, but a porcelain cookwell is available. The lid also comes in glass or metal.
The only hold back on getting one for myself was the size. I find 6 qts. to be too large for my slowcooker needs and somewhat large for my baking needs for the two of us. The performance reviews for the Nesco 4805-12 5-Quart Electric Roaster, Red are mixed. This unit still seemed large for my slowcooker/crockpot need since when using as a slowcooker the manufacturer recommends it be at least 1/2 full. Ebay to the rescue!! I found rectangular shaped 4 qt. vintage models available plus shipping cost for less than $[...] with all the accessories included (instruction manual, rack, cookbook). One white and one blue. They may not be as spiffy as the red 5 qt or the Stainless 6 qt., but they perform beautifully!!! The nonstick inner cookwell for the 4 qt. model is still available at the Nesco website if you desire a second and/or different finish than what the ebay seller is offering.
The Nesco Roaster oven is the best thing I have found for slowcooking in recent years. It does not get as hot as many of the newer slowcooker/crockpots which gives the vegetables a wonderful texture and color. Much better than the newer slowcookers on the market (I have found this to be true for the new 6 qt model as well as the vintage 4 qt). The 4 qt accomodates a chicken, beef/ pork roast or ham beautifully. The roasted meats come our succulent and tender. When using the roasting settings the meats are slow roasted not stewed/steamed as in the slow cooker temperature setting. The roasted meats are not quite as brown as when roasted in a conventional oven , but the metal cookwell can be placed in the conventional oven at the end of the cooking time for 20 minutes or so for more browning if desired. This works out great during holidays and for get-togethers since the meat can be slow roasting while the conventional stove and oven are used for other meal prep.
I like the fact that the inner cookwell is metal as well as the lid . This reduces the risk of breakage as well as reduces the weight. The cookwell is removed easily for clean up.
My 2-in1 Slow Cooker has been given away since I can slowcook 2 to 4 quarts in the Nesco as well as roast and bake. The Nesco site has teriffic recipes for slowcooking, side dishes, main dishes, casseroles, desserts, and roasting meats in addition to the recipes that come with the cooker. The site still offers recipes for the 4 qt as well as the newer 5 qt and larger models.
This item performs beyond expectations and works well for the rver, empty nester, dorm room, small apartment dweller as well as just a optional cooking/serving unit for the conventional household.
I Highly Recommend !!!!
