Amazon.com Review
Now a Thanksgiving Day turkey is possible at that mountain cabin with the broken oven. This ingenious portable oven not only roasts up to a 22-pound turkey, but can bake several chickens at once or steam a family reunion-size feast of clams. A wire rack with handles lifts roasts out with ease. The porcelain baking well, with interior cooking dimensions of 17 by 11-1/2 by 5 inches, features two handles and removes for serving or cleaning. Hidden in the oven’s base is the exclusive "Circle of Heat" element, which cooks evenly at settings ranging from 125 to 425 degrees. Simply plug in and turn the knob. A domed metal lid with cool-touch plastic handle ensures self-basting, moist cooking. Overall, with lid inverted for storage or travel, the oven measures 22-1/2 by 15 by 9-1/2 inches. Four feet and two sturdy end handles make the oven easy to carry and set up, whether on the back patio or in an RV. A one-year warranty covers against defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

EVEN THOUGH!
I purchased two of these roasters to cook Christmas dinner. It made the best ham, and pork I have cooked in my life, moist and hot and once it was seasoned and clicked on it practically cooked itself.
HOWEVER EVEN THOUGH I give it five stars for being a fantastic extra portable oven
Nesco sends this item out in need of being pre-used before cooking in for the first time.
Had my son not used it the week before to make sausage and meatballs Christmas dinner would have been ruined!! AND my house would have reeked of burnt plastic!!! The initial odor was quite bad .
The oven took over 7 hrs. plugged in outside to burn off this odor. I have had toaster ovens, coffepots toasters, electric fry pans etc. and pulled them out of the box washed and used them instantly! Nesco would do well to burn the oven off on their own site. I called customer service and let "poor nice Hazel" have it....hopefully she will pass along my suggestion and get a promotion to boot!
Also, I have no garage and had it been a rainy day I would not have had a ventilated covered area to burn it off in. I do see another review where this was an issue for the man who bought it... if you read this I agree but I wish you had kept the oven its all up hill after burn off! YES it is true, they do state in the directions to run oven before using for the first time BUT this is inside the box. This could be a real deal breaker for someone who didn't open it up at least a day before they needed it!
Bottom line it is a fantastic product. Easy clean up & versatile can be used to cook & keep food warm, use indooror or on hot days why not cook outdoors , good looking , roomy, like having an extra oven only when you need it, and it even stores neatly within itself. Yes I can say it does what I need quite well!

Nice and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside
Following the directions we 'baked' the roaster oven before using, and subsequently used it for a large roaster chicken. It came out wonderful. The inside was nice and tender, thoroughly done, and very juicy. The outside is well done and crisp, just the way we like it. I would recommend this roaster oven, but be sure to 'bake' the roaster as per the instructions before using it to cook food. Great item!
As usual Amazon is very fast and I also got Free Shipping as well. Thank you Amazon!

Just as the positive reviewers report.
Having been used to two ovens in previous homes and having juggled with one oven over Thanksgiving I bought this to help. After reading the customer reviews I knew what to expect. Prior to use I burned off whatever makes it smell so bad. The manual suggests a short time for this; I let it heat for several hours. It's first use was to roast a turkey. I followed the "recipe" in the manual and was very pleased with the result. The bird was not completely pale and as I slice in the kitchen this would have not have been an issue anyway. The meat was tender and juicy and received rave reviews, better than my usual oven cooked birds.
