VERY USEFUL FOR LARGE BATCH COOKINGI roasted about 15 pounds of chicken, then after removing the meat, returned the carcasses to the pan, added the water and premade stock and continued to simmer it overnight. Made a most wonderful batch of bone broth – (18 pits) that I canned for my pantry. Have seen others use it for tomato sauces and other large batch cooking. I don’t like a lot of salt or chemical preservatives in my food so I buy in bulk and preserve a lot of foods for my freezer and for jars, especially veggie and bone broth for soups etc. This is a wonderful appliance for that purpose.

NESCO, Can’t Beat ItThe Nesco performs as expected. As a roaster it can’t be beat. A real timesaver and a true extra oven when needed.

Finish after two uses is dull now.I love this product. I wanted one so bad to help me with my canning. I truly love it, but the finish on the inside is very dull now. VERY dull. It looks like I scrubbed it with something abrasive, which I didn’t. Just my dish brush, soap, and water. If you want it to stay “pretty” you may want to reconsider. Or maybe this is just what happens. Like I said I really wanted one of these and have taken such good care of it because I am grateful for it and need it to can. But not happy with the inside looking “gray” instead of black. It is truly incredible.11.12.2022 after three uses the finish is extremely dull. One more, I SAS making chili sauce, which is red. After letting it cool I had black swirls in my chili sauce from the finish. My Neck is so important to me, saved money to buy it! I stir every 15 to 25 minutes. I cook at 250 degress. Not once did it ever scorch, but I am very concerned for the finish! Finding it in my sauce after 12 hours and $100 of ingredients, I am really upset!

Was a GiftThey cooked a brisket, a turkey, and some kind of steak. They mentioned the lid handle was too hot to pick up so they used a hot pad holder.

Love it!I grew up using electric roaster. They were my Mom’s, so I wanted my own to make bone broth in. It’s great and I love Nesco I have 2 of their dehydrators.
