If it takes 6 hours to cook a turkey in the kitchen oven, would it be 6 hours also in the 18-qt Nesco stainless steel roaster oven?

I find that the Nesco cooks much faster. The primary reason I love the Nesco is because of how tender and juicy the turkey comes out!

Our turkey cooked a little faster, though not significantly, and the bird tasted good. My cousins like to use these roasters to keep carved turkey warm when serving a large group; that works well. However, we bought the roaster to expand oven space, not shorten cooking time. Just don't let the bird touch the sides of the pan ... not good the first time that happened. A large batch of ribs, suspended on a low rack over a little water, cooked well & were really good.

We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she has not cooked a turkey in it yet. However she did look at the recipe guide that came with the roaster and it does indicate that the amount of cooking minutes per pound is the same as a regular oven. I hope this helps!

Probably forever, it took me 6+ hours to try to cook a turkey and it still wasn't done

I have put it in the oven for 5 or 6 minutes to finish off a steak, but not longer. I can't answer if you could do a casserole because I haven't tried.

The paperwork that comes with the 6-Qt. Roaster states it is "porcelain enamel non-stick cookwell" has a full 6 qt. capacity and the cookwell is removable for easy clean up. I don't use anything but wooden utensils or plastic utensils to stir or take things out of this roaster, but I don't use any other items even on my stove top to stir or remove items from any pot, even plain metal pots or pans. Never had a problem with clean up either. I use "elbow grease" or a plastic dobie pad and soap and water, never anything more and it cleans up easily. Never a problem. I love this roaster oven, it's perfect for me and I'm very glad I finally bought it.

I put an oven thermometer inside. It takes 3-5 minutes to reach temperature.

Around 25min or so. I have done a test and bake for a few different recipes and i have found that my bake time for these little guys is reduced by half. so 25min should do the trick.

I cook my chickens at 425 for the first 20 minutes so I know the Norpro can be used at that temperature. I also use a convection oven. Could you roast four birds? I'm not sure four birds would fit in a regular sized house oven. Two for sure would fit, maybe three birds.

Yes, definitely. It has a roast feature, and will stay cooking for 2 hours.

Yes, you can. Bring your over to 375 F and cook for about 32 minutes. The time depends to some degree on the efficiency of your oven. However, it is easier to stick it in the microwave and cook it for 5 to 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Either way the food is very healthy, fresh and tastes great.

I use all my recipes with this Presure cooker. I time it to 1/4 of the time it would take to do on top of the stove or in the oven once the top starts rattling. Adjust times with microwave wattage

Short answer...och! touched it. That might not be the answer you would like to hear but you know it's working. I have several different brands of Roasters and cookers. This one is the only one without a idiot light on it. It also bothered me at first but heck, most things I put in it takes a few hours or longer to cook and you are just looking at the light. If it was my fish or pancake fryer the light is handy so I know it's up to temp but a roster, it's all slow cooking. If you are using the roaster as a steamer with a water bath in the bottom it takes me little over 20 mins to heat the water up to temp.

HI, first of all it would of course depend on the size of the bird . The inside of the oven measures (6.3" H,and 12.2" D and 12" W ) Maybe you could use a small bird, like an 8 pound turkey. You really MUST PLAN AHEAD when you are unsure about ovens, I wish you good luck with your culenery arts.12"

First ..defrost the chicken and season it if you want..give 3min. Turn it over and another 2min.it all depends on the wattage of your microwave oven though.. add additional 30 sec. Increasement if its not done. ..

I have done an 18 hour cook at 250 - 275 degrees and still have a decent amount of lump in the bowl afterwards. This cooker has an amazing user forum (receipes, tips, tricks, suggestions) and members have reported 24 hour cooks without running out of lump.

The temps for turkey and cooking times are in the booklet sent with the fryer. I did a 12 pound turkey and it took about 90 minutes.

Yes, the process is the same but the cooking time is different. Check the cooking chart that comes with the cooker for info.

My experience was that the cooking times in the book are accurate and cooking it in this roaster does make the breast meat nice and moist. If your family only likes breast meat you can actually fit two in the roaster at once. It will take a little longer to roast than one, but not double. Maybe 2-3 minutes more per TOTAL pound. I love the browning recipe that was in the booklet and use it for a nice golden color, but I also like to put herb butter between the skin and meat before roasting. Just lift the skin, leaving the major attachment at the breast bone and around the edges in place and use a paper towel to get this "pocket" as dry as possible. It helps the butter stick instead of sliding around. Per 1/4 lb of butter (which should do 2 breasts) add in 1 tsp of whatever dried herbs you prefer or 1 Tbs of finely minced fresh herbs. Hope this helps.
