62538-REV. MW 18qt #63492 10/24/01 7:58 AM Helpful Hints ROASTER OVEN SHOULD ALWAYS BE PREHEATED FOR 20 MINUTES. ROAST • Roasting meat in your NESCO Roaster Oven keeps it moist and tender. For additional browning, you can add 1/2 Tsp. browning sauce to oil or margarine and brush over skin before roasting. • Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them very tender. Adding a gravy or sauce will make them extra flavorful. • To sear meat, Preheat Roaster Oven at 450°F.
