http://www.nesco.com/recipes/ You can search this company's site for roaster oven recipes. I have an 18qt roaster. It isn't much different than cooking in an oven. Cooking time is a bit shorter and it's moister. Though I don't care for ham done in a roaster oven. I did do a pot roast once in my parents' 6qt. I prepared the same way as I do on the stovetop.
