This worked great for Thanksgiving. It cooked our Turkey in half the time a regular oven would take, leaving the meat moist.

The "burn in" only took about an hour, not a big deal.

The lid and roaster pan are coated metal, which lifts out for easy cleaning.

I have a Nesco Roaster that I purchased at least 12 years ago. I loved it!! It was great for turkeys, ribs, stew, beans, anything!! The only reason I was replacing it was because the Teflon coating was starting to come off and the roaster was getting "hot spots". The lid had seen better days, and... well, it was just tired! The roaster I ordered was the same as my old one so I expected many years of use and enjoyment. I was soooo wrong! I received the roaster and it was very cheaply made. The lid was thinner and the metal was ripply. After two hours of "airing" it out, the smell pretty much was gone but still noticeable. I figured, oh well, nothing is made as well as it used to be made and proceeded to wash the roaster so I could use it for dinner. I didn't want to use it the first time for Thanksgiving and have any surprises! It's a good thing!! I made Teriyaki chicken tenders with vegetables. EVERYTHING stuck to the sides, to the point that it took major scrubbing to get it off, even after soaking over night. I was a bit surprised but figured I would have to live with it. The deal breaker occurred when I was cooking the chicken and tried to remove the lid. It wouldn't budge. When I finally pried the lid off, the paint from the lid had melted onto the roaster, fusing the two together. The burning paint stunk to high Heaven and is permanently on the edge of the roaster. Though the roaster pan and the lid seem to have bonded, the same is not true for me. It's going back! Paint that melts when heated can't be safe. So disappointing and so sad!! :(

Bought this roaster after reviewing others online. This roaster did everything it was supposed to do. Cooked our 20 pound turkey perfectly. Turkey was moist and juicy. Highly recommend this roaster. Bought it at Sears because it was $20.00 cheaper than online here.

Bought this roaster for Christmas day, since there

wasn't enough room in the oven. Worked great. This is now the "family" roaster for anyone to use. Wish I had bought it years ago.

I purchased by first Nesco oven from QVC about 12 years ago...still works after all this time! I absolutely loved it then and still do. It cooks meat like no other oven I have ever used. The first thing I used it for was to roast a ham. It was so juicy and moist that I NEVER cook ham any other way. I used it to bake an apple pie because I had run out of room in my ovens... I thought okay it will just have to be browned in the conventional oven... NOT true.. the crust baked and browned beautifully. I use it for everything.

This is a great product that can be used for ANYTHING you would use a normal oven for. I bought another one last year because it is such a wonderful product. This year they will both get used!!!
