Rating: - Best turkey ever
I bought a turkey thanksging 2003 and used my new 18 quart Nesco . My husband and I are not turkey lovers. My nesco roaster made my 17cents a pound turkey tender, moist, and flavorful with just paprika, salt, pepper, 1 cup oil and butter, and chopped onion, carrots, celery. Yum-Yum-yum. Iused the nesco 6 quart roaster to make soup, cooking slowly all night the bones and previously cooked chopped vegetables adding rest next day etc. I am a caretaker of 95 year old alzheimer patient with no teeth. She ate turkey without chopping it, because it was so tender and moist.
Sincerely, 65 year old fan of Nesco roasters.

Rating: - almost as good as they claim...
A nesco is a very good second oven. It is also very good for cooking your dinner outside (if you have an outlet) on a patio on a hot summer day. I did find mine easy to clean on the non-stick interior...a bit less so on the outside but still very cleanable. The issue I have is that is isnt really an excellent unit for crockpot cooking which is what i primarily wanted it for. It cooks a bit different, the timing is a bit different and the crockpot recipes dont exactly transfer. It took me a while to figure that out. You *can* use it as a crockpot but if you are buying it to use it primarily for that I would choose a crockpot instead. That said, it bakes, roasts very well. and keeps things warm (like pots of chile or soup etc) for a party excellently.

Rating: - Nesco Roasters are all that they claim.
I have two Nesco Roasters, a 6-qt and a 12 qt. They can be used to roast a turkey or pork loin (or any other type of roast), as a great slow cooker for soups and stews, as well as chili, etc. I use these for all my picnics and holiday events. They are a great "second" oven when you are planning a holiday meal or party.
