My oven died today...and it's going to take 2 weeks or so (hopefully less) to get the part. I guess everyone's stove went out too and needed that same part :roll:

Anyways, to those of you that have one, have you done any baking in it? Like cupcakes or something other than turkey or chicken?

no but have seen recipes to bake in a electric skillet

Thanks Nancy... I don't have one of those though :(

Nesco has a website for roasters and I believe there are recipes on there too.

Thank you :)

"Back in the Day" my Dad was the chief engineer at Nesco. In the hot summer, I have used my roaster in the basement to bake pies, using the rack to sit them on. Mind you, this was before the day of microwaves and convection ovens but I don't remember it being any problem.

Hello,
I have 3 Westinghouse Electric roasters and I have baked in mine. Cakes,pies it works fine. Hope this helps.

Years ago, my oven was out of commission for almost 3 years. I borrowed a Westinghouse Electric Roaster from my SIL, and used it for everything. Whatever I did in my regular oven I did in the roaster and everything turned out absolutely great. I could only bake one cake layer, one pie, a dozen cookies on a 9 x 12 cookie sheet, etc. at a time, but everything turned out great.

Don't be afraid to try it. Good luck!

when I remodled my kitchen, we had no stove,sink we used a camp stve to cook on, my NuWave oven and toaster oven. Ibaked pies,cakes and cookies in my NuWave. and loved it
