Baking a casserole in a Nesco?
Comments (7)Not sure what size roaster oven you have but you can make it right in the roaster if you have a 4, 5 or 6 quart oven or use a dish if you use the larger oven. A "Nesco" as many if not most of their owners lovingly call them is a roaster oven and will do anything an oven will do and more. As for adjusting time, I wouldn't plan much on it, however it might take a little adjustment for certain things since it's smaller than a conventional oven. I see no reason why that recipe shouldn't work just fine in a Nesco or any other brand of electric roaster oven. I've made the macaroni/beef hotdish in my 4 qt and 6 qt, the best lasagna I ever made came out of the 4 qt Nesco, and as I've shared several times I've baked bread, meatloaf, burgers, brats, chili, pot roast, ribs, soup, stew, etc, etc... again, if it can be done in a slow cooker or an oven, you can probably do it as well or better in a roaster oven....See MoreTips for Serving HOT Thanksgiving Dinner
Comments (12)bulldinkie, If I lived in a cooler climate, I'd be right there with ya'. As it is, I am near kellyeng and have virtually given up on expecting to serve hot dishes on Thanksgiving. My warming drawer doesn't hold enough to be that effective for the quantities I make. Lacanches have those nice warming cupboards, but I am not enamored of the rest of their performance characteristics. I relented and bought another crockpot this month, after one went to DS1, one went to DS2, and one became a small engine parts receptacle for DH's model airplane engine cleaning projects many years ago. DS1's girlfriend is bringing a loaner, too, so I will have two. I do plan to use the "hold" function on my wall oven, and my two Salton warming trays that are now, ahem, 30 years old. We shall see if they hang in for another year. What doesn't manage to stay hot just won't be hot. I had hoped the lowest setting on my induction hob could be pressed into service, but it is not low enough....See MoreCooking on Wed, serving on Thurs - how to reheat?
Comments (5)Don't nuke it....that will drive out moisture. I would reheat in a 300 oven in a slow oven...put the turkey in a pyrex 9 by 11 dish, pour over a can of chicken broth...or 2 cans....cover with foil and heat for about 45 to 60 minutes. If the oven is busy....you could do it on top of the stove....sort of make a double boiler out of the pyrex dish and a roasting pan with water in the bottom. I don't like a crock pot for reheating....takes too long to bring anything up to temp. I tried to heat 2 qts of soup in a crock pot....and after an hour is wasn't even luke warm....so I put it in a real pan on the stove. Linda C...See MoreBroccoli casserole for Thanksgiving
Comments (8)Louise, I was gifted with this recipe about 50 years ago. It is the only time I cook with Velveeta cheese and that is the cheese that must be used. It is my expected 'go-to' recipe for family holidays and large gatherings. And every time people will ask me why I did not bring a larger sized casserole...that they loved it! For this recipe any variety of vegetable can be used including just broccoli. However, I chop a combination of the following veggies to fill the size pan used: Some onion Zucchini and/or summer squash Broccoli Cauliflower Lightly steam the vegetables and spread in pan. Make enough thick white sauce with a generous amount of Velveeta cheese added to bind the vegetables. Add 1/4 tsp. each of onion powder and celery salt to each cup of cheese sauce. Pour sauce over vegetable mixture in pan, spreading evenly. Cover surface of casserole with a generous amount of buttered bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until bread crumbs are browned. Note: Casserole can be made early in the day and refrigerated. Remove from fridge 1/2 hour to warm before baking. Add buttered bread crumbs just before it goes in the oven....See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
