Superior Stainless Steel liner is included
Photo is wrong. This DOES INCLUDE Stainless Steel Liner pan, has rack, but no divided trays. Do BURN OFF with liner & lid removed OUTSIDE for 30-60 minutes, as directed, so smoking fumes are not a problem when cooking indoors the first time.
-Has reasonable size cord but could definitely be longer so at least could be 6 ft. from the plug.
-Exterior does get hot so should be kept away from anything that melts with heat, or away from children's hands/bodies.
-Easy to clean. Lined Stainless Steel liner with foil & sprayed liner with oil & poured in 2 cups water and worked great for roasting.
Surprised at the price increase as I paid half this.
-The included booklet has very few recipes so don't count on it for much help.
Rather look to your normal baking recipes and realize this is cooking differently in a steamer type action like a huge roaster in your oven. Think more slow cooker crock pot recipes.
Would recommend this product...
So glad to have stainless steel cookwell and lid...not just exterior design!
It's pretty hard to find an actual stainless steel cookwell AND stainless steel lid. Not to mention stainless steel body and interior as well. This is the best roaster oven I could find anywhere. Especially nice to find it here at a good sale price on Amazon Prime.
Our first roaster oven (a different brand name) had a porcelain-over-steel cookwell, and a painted aluminum lid. It was pretty...but the very first time we used it, the paint started coming off the inside of the lid, exposing the aluminum, and creating loose paint bits inside the lid. Imagine food cooking, steaming inside the roaster, dripping down paint and aluminum particles onto the food......yuck! The exterior of that unit was also painted aluminum, and I am sure it would have acquired scratches in the paint, and would have not looked so good after that. It would not have stood up under any scrubbing.
This Nesco Stainless Steel model is WAY better for us than the aluminum one we started out with...
Inferior electrical components
We purchased thee of these ovens in June 2012, all broke down within six months. Were bought to upgrade 20 liter Rivals and 18 liter Hamilton Beach ovens we used to slow cook meat at 220F . Called Nesco to be told to send them back for fixing at our cost. Had them checked first by a electrician who found the heating elements were burned out in all three and the electrics were of very poor quality. Rather than spending the money sending them back thus taking the chance of them been fitted with the same inferior elements, we wrote them off and used the SS inserts in the similar sized Hamilton Beach ovens which continue to work great after 6 years. Except for the SS cooking wells these ovens are garbage. Nesco service department was quite unconcerned and oblivious to the fact that three out of a purchase three had similar problems.
