Tips for UsingHamilton Beach Roaster Oven

• Before baking or roasting in the roaster oven, make sure the pan or dish you plan to use will fit by placing it in the roasting pan. Most heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the roaster oven.
• The roasting pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster oven. If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the roasting pan may be used as the cooking pan in the roaster base. It may also be used as a large roasting pan in the roaster base.
• Do not use the roasting pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the roasting pan when cooking these foods.
• Baking pans and casserole dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. If necessary, the rack can be removed to fit a large roasting pan or two casseroles in roaster oven.
• Foil oven roasting bags can be used in the roaster oven. We do not recommend using plastic oven roasting bags in the roaster oven.
• Do not remove the lid of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the lid allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.
• Unless otherwise instructed, preheat roaster oven for 15 minutes to the temperature stated in recipes.
• If a recipe calls for the use of a baking pan or dish, take the rack out of the roaster oven. Preheat oven to desired temperature. Then place pan on the rack and then place both into the roaster oven. Bake as instructed in recipe. The rack makes it easier to place or remove pans or dishes in the hot roaster oven.

Following are pan sizes which will fit in the roaster oven

• One 9- x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking or 10- x 14-inch (25 x 36 cm) roasting pan
• Two 9- x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) or 8- x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pans
• One tube or bundt pan

Roasting Meats and Poultry

• We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked roasts and poultry every time. If using a meat thermometer, the meat or poultry should be removed from the roaster oven when the thermometer reading is 5 to 10 degrees below the desired temperature. The internal temperature will continue to rise after
  the meat has been removed from the roaster oven.
• Most hams sold today are labeled as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before Eating” has been smoked or cured but NOT cooked. This ham must be thoroughly cooked to
  an internal temperature of 155º to 160°F (68º to 71ºC). The “Fully Cooked” hams have been smoked or cured and already cooked. The ham does not require further cooking, but heating to 140°F (60ºC) improves the flavor.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional ovens. A 25- to 28-pound (11.3–12.7 kg) unstuffed turkey will cook in approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is moist and juicy, but is lighter brown than a conventional oven roasted turkey. To enhance the appearance, use the Turkey Browning Sauce in the “Recipe” section.
• The Roasting Chart lists cooking times for tender cuts of meat that are usually dry-roasted. These roasts are from the rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck area, cook in liquid for a longer period of time.
• Times indicated are approximate and should be used only as a general guideline. Individual cuts of meat and personal preference may dictate longer or shorter roasting times.
• Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth. Visit foodsafety.gov for more information.

Roasting Chart

NOTE: The roasting chart is for reference only. Follow package directions or USDA recommendations. Visit www.foodsafety.org for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.

Baking

The roaster oven can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or casseroles like a conventional oven. Pans and dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. Using the rack is also recommended for convenience in removing hot dishes and pans from the roaster oven.

Steaming

Preheat roaster oven to 450ºF (232ºC). To steam in the roaster oven, you will need a metal colander. Place rack in the roasting pan. Place roasting pan in roaster oven. Pour 1 quart (946 ml) boiling water into the roasting pan. Place food to be steamed in the colander and place colander in roasting pan. Cover and steam according to the chart times or until desired doneness.Do not remove the lid of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the lid allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.

Warming Rolls and Biscuits

Preheat roaster over to 250ºF (121ºC). You will need two small ovenproof containers to hold water. Emptied and washed food cans are perfect. Fill the cans two-thirds full with hot water and place in opposite corners of the roasting pan. 

Quantity Cooking

The roasting pan may be used as a large cooking utensil when cooking or heating large quantities. It may be used to simmer sauces, soups, or stews, or simply to heat or warm large quantities. When cooking or heating soups or stews in the roaster oven, stir occasionally for quicker, even heating.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in roasting pan. Do not let them touch sides of pan. Cover and keep warm up to 1 hour.
For example, set the temperature control at 400°F (204ºC) and the roaster oven will warm vegetable beef soup from refrigerated temperature to serving temperature in about 2 hours. To cook soups, stews, or sauces, set the temperature control on 225°F (107ºC) and allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer, depending on recipe.

Cleaning

1. Turn temperature control to MIN. Unplug and let cool completely.
2. Wash cover, rack, and roasting pan in hot, soapy water. To remove burned-on food, let soak; then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Rinse in hot water; then dry.
3. Wipe the inside of the roaster base with a damp cloth. Wipe the outside of the roaster oven with a damp, soapy cloth; then dry. 
4. NOTE: The lid may discolor from the cooking process. It is a natural occurrence and does not affect performance.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.
