- What can the Nesco 4816-12 do besides roast?
- It steams, slow cooks, bakes and keeps food warm. The dial sets the heat; there are no automatic programs.
- How big is the cooking pot?
- The oval pot holds 1.5 gallons, about 6 quarts, which fits a whole chicken or a small turkey.
- Does it have a timer or automatic shutoff?
- No. You set the temperature by dial and turn it off yourself, so plan to check on long cooks.
- Can I use it as a slow cooker?
- Yes, on its lower settings, but it lacks the timed low-and-high presets of a dedicated slow cooker.
- Is the pot dishwasher safe?
- The enameled pot and glass lid are best washed by hand to protect the finish.
