I don't ordinarily use this space for product recommendations, but this one is worth it. And this is a totally unsolitited and unpaid opinion.
My favorite kitchen appliances are my Nesco roasters. I have collected a whole family of them. They are certainly workhorses in my kitchen, especially in the summertime.
Why are they so great in the summer? Because on a hot day like today, I can make a casserole without heating up my kitchen! I can take them out to the back porch and cook out there if I want to. I can make a batch of spaghetti sauce or chili and let it simmer all afternoon. I can roast a chicken, using the convection feature to get it nice and brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.
When we have parties or large family dinners, I use the Nescos to keep the food at a safe temperature without drying it out. They're great in a buffet line.
These roasters are well-made and the customer service from the manufacturer can't be beat. There's also a terrific Yahoo group dedicated to recipes and tips for these roaster ovens.

Thank you so much for reminding me to take my roaster out of the closet and use it this summer! Blessings...
ReplyDeleteGreat tip - I have like every kitchen gadget in the world, except this one. Wonder what I'm getting for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear old A/C is about to give up the ghost, and I'm trying to help it hobble through summer by not using the oven.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to get looking for one of these guys, so I can keep my house as cool as possible.
Thanks for the great tip!
I have seen these but had no idea they were so useful! Definitely have to look into it. I like the idea of being able to roast something in the hot summer--I'm thinking sliced roast beef sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered if I would use a Nesco very often. Now that you mention the possibilities, I probably would. I use my crockpot all the time during the school year.
ReplyDeleteMy sister loves hers. I will have to tell her about the recipes and tips site! Thank you.
