പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The Oster 18-Quart Roaster Oven offers precise temperature control for various cooking needs.

താപനില നിയന്ത്രണം

The roaster features a variable temperature control knob, allowing you to set temperatures from 150°F to 450°F. It also includes a 'Keep Warm' setting for maintaining food temperature after cooking and a 'Defrost' setting for thawing frozen items.

Roasting and Baking

Place the roasting rack inside the removable roasting pan. Position your food (e.g., turkey, roast, casserole) on the rack. The rack elevates the food, allowing for even heat circulation and preventing it from sitting in drippings.

Cover the roaster with the self-basting lid. This innovative lid recirculates moisture during cooking, eliminating the need for manual basting and ensuring tender, flavorful results. The lid's design helps to trap steam, which condenses and drips back onto the food.

Set the desired temperature using the control knob. The indicator light will illuminate when the unit is heating and turn off once the set temperature is reached. Refer to your recipe for specific cooking times and temperatures.
