From the makers of the Original Roaster Oven, comes the new NESCO Upright Turkey Roaster. This new way of cooking turkey and other meats is ideal for saving time in the kitchen, offering the user a faster alternative to the oven. This upright roaster is perfect to have around during the holidays or any time of year as it offers the versatility every home chef needs. Innovative Roast-Ryte™ Technology uses infrared heating elements to evenly cook a turkey. The center heating element cooks from the inside out as the outer heating elements rotate heat around the turkey, maintaining the moisture on the inside while searing the skin to a golden-brown on the outside. This oil-free, easy-to-use vertical roaster can cook up to an 18-lb. bird in less than two hours, reducing cooking times by up to 40% versus a conventional oven. You’ll never have to worry about overcooking your bird, as the easy-to-read control panel has a digital timer as well as a preprogrammed 120-minute turkey setting with auto-off function. Illuminated lights indicate when the heating elements are on and cycling and the glass cover allows for convenient viewing during use without removing the lid and letting heat escape. Removable and dish washer safe, the cooking stand drip tray collects all unwanted turkey drippings and the interior surface is nonstick making clean-up quick. This upright roaster is lightweight and includes side handles for safe and comfortable handling. The black and stainless steel finish will accent any kitchen décor and the compact design leaves countertops uncluttered. The NESCO Upright Turkey Roaster is Your Key Ingredient™ to the most convenient and mess-free way to cook poultry and meat, allowing you to cook comfortably and enjoy more time with your family outside of the kitchen.
