Thank you ..........

16 years ago

I just wanted to thank everyone that have commented on roaster ovens. I bought one last fall because of all the positive comments, but hadn't bothered to try it out. When we went on vacation I knew we would have all the kids and grands around so decided to take the roaster with me. I put four frozen, boneless turkeys in the roaster for dinner and even the grandchildren commented on how good the turkey was with EVERYONE going back for seconds and thirds. Now I need to really learn how to use this thing because it will go with me for all family gathering. And I'm also thinking about getting a smaller one since I think the big one is overkill for just the 2 of us.

Thank you again for the good advice.

bryansda, if you are talking about the electric roasters like Nesco, I love mine, it gets used a lot for family functions and has held everything from baked beans to sloppy joes to pulled pork to the turkey.

Like you, I think I need a smaller one.

I find mine perfect for making apple butter and peach butter. And, sometimes when I make too much bread and finally pull out all the stale end pieces from the freezer, it is perfect for making gobs of stuffing, that goes back into the freezer in meal-sized portions.

Hey francy, I'm using EK paint in the trim formulation--the ICI Dulux Lifemaster 9200 (see link below), mixed with a tad bit of Floetrol. The paint mostly levels out (DH says it does completely--he's amazed how easy it was for me to get a good finish on melamine), in fact I'd say it's more uniform than the other surfaces I've done with a brush (it occurs to me that I hadn't used floetrol in the other trim I painted--Devine trim paint), but there is a bit of a texture, just an imperceptible bit. But it's all over, not linear. I really like the look of it, but you might not. I think Michael had said to go over it with a brush if you want to get rid of the "stipple", but I would rather leave it as it is--the risk is greater for me than the potential reward. Maybe trying Floetrol will give you greater control, longer workability and leveling than you have now? Just a possibility. When I first tried it I poured out a little paint into a yogurt container and mixed a tiny amount of floetrol into it, just to see what I thought of the different consistencies/workabilities. I much prefer life with Floetrol now. :) AND life with the Jumbo-Koter.

Oh geeze. Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated but not necessary. :) Garden Web is my occasional mental vacation/distraction from a hectic real life. As much as I love color, it's nice to come here and read about other stuff.

I love those roasters. I had three of them, but lent two of them out and only got one back minus some parts. Arrrghhh. I now have only 1-1/2 of them. I use them a lot at holiday time or if it is hot summer and I don't want to roast indoors.

Annie, mine isn't a Nesco, but I'd bet they made it since it's a Kenmore brand.
Nancy good idea to make a large amount and freeze in portion sizes. I need to start cooking more for sure.
Sheshebog, I think I'd go repo my roaster for the one that hasn't come home and send a bill for the one that came home with parts missing. Or you could be like me and have a daughter that borrows and decides to keep since 'good ole mom' won't mind.

I love my Nesco roasters also. I have the large one and the 6 qt. one and use them throughout the year. A really good investment.
