This review is from: Nesco 4816-12G 6-Quart Roaster Oven with Glass Lid, Porcelain Coated Cookwell, Red (Kitchen) i purchased a hamilton beach slow cooker/crock pot a little over a year ago on amazon. i used it maybe 6 times at most. the last time i used it, the ceramic insert stress cracked all the way around. i am a very careful person and it was NOT my fault. to order a new insert would have cost (with shipping) more than i paid for the whole pot so i ditched it and began a search for something better.
i ran across the Nesco and did some online research on it. it sounded like the answer for me. it came last week (from amazon) and i followed the "smoke out" directions and then made my first meal in it last night....my take on a chicken stew recipe that was included in the manual. omg! it was wonderful. one meal does not a satisfied customer make but i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between me and my Nesco. if things change, i'll update this review. this review is for the 6 qt. red roaster with porcelain cookwell...no more ceramic for me although...Read more 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Nesco 4816-14G 6-Quart Roaster Oven with Glass Lid, Porcelain Coated Cookwell, Ivory (Kitchen) I made the mistake earlier this year of purchasing a crockpot thinking I could control the heat settings. When I found I could not, I was back at Amazon hunting for an alternative, and this was it. The temperature gauge runs from 200 to 400 degrees, so you can use the lower settings like a crockpot, and the higher for roasting, baking, and steaming. The cookwell on this particular unit is made of metal, so I do not have to worry about it cracking and breaking like crockpots and having to purchase a whole new unit when it does. It cleans up in a snap with a little bit of Dawn and baking soda. It is removable and dishwasher safe too. I can now look forward to next summer of baking/roasting on the back porch rather than heating up the house inside. I wish I had known about these roaster ovens decades ago. I would have bought one back then instead of wasting so much $$$$ replacing crockpots over the years. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By Allen Drury "rosesandmusic" (Lubbock, TX USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Nesco 4816-12G 6-Quart Roaster Oven with Glass Lid, Porcelain Coated Cookwell, Red (Kitchen) Have only used this once so far but did cook a whole chicken in it......was so easy..........great tender chicken, and cooked in such a short time at high heat. Would recommend it over a slow cooker because you can control your heat. Great buy. |
