Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews) I have had my nesco for 6 years and I have two of them. One is 6 quarts and the other one 18 quarts. I too was dissappointed with the fact that you had to pre-burn it out. But I was stuck and had to do it. What helped me through this was my air purifier. My sister bought her nesco in the winter time so she raised all of her kitchen windows up to help her through it.
After the curing procedure, it was well worth it. I can cook a whole dinner in it. I just love it. Sometimes in life you have to go through pain to get to pleasure. I love this because it cooks bake potatoes. fish, hot dogs, pork chops, chicken, and steaks tenderly. Oh, and what it does to ribs is sinful -- it is so tender and good. In my 18 quart nesco; I put those babyback ribs on along with my secret seasonings and forget about it.
I don't use it as a slow cooker because I basicly use it to cook healthier. I put the meat on the rack inside and all of the excess fats are drained into the well. I love cooking fish on the rack. I use it to steam my foods and the flavor is preserved that way. I have cooked string beans in aluminum foil and other vegetables on the rack with water at the bottom for steam and it has been wonderful for me.
Once I had some friends over for dinner and I was serving pork chops, as you can guess, some of my family members decided to drop by. In the bottom of my freezer, I had some freezer burned pork chops that had been in a plastic bag for over a year. I took them out and seasoned and cooked them in the nesco and you could not tell them from my new pork chops buy appearance or taste.
My nesco saved me. So this is why I love it so much. If you can get pass the burning process, it will be well worth it.
Although there are far more ways to use this remarkable oven I use it to steam all of my foods because it doesn't tie me to the stove If I want my meat crunchier I leave it in the nesco longer.
Yes, I would recommend this product and have recommended it to my sister and she loves hers.

Because you have to burn it out before you can use it I will have to give it 4 stars.If we did not have to do that I would have given it five stars. Jan 15, 2007 7:15 AM PST
