EVEN THOUGH!,

This review is from: Nesco 18-Quart Roaster Oven with Porcelain Cookwell, Millennium Silver (Kitchen)
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...Read more

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!

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.
