If you go to the Nesco site, they have a fine selection of recipes. For some reason, Rival is not currently making their roaster manuals downloadable online, and the recipe collection is minimal.
You can find some rival manuals for sale on eBay.

Ann, as mrentioned just above, Rival does not post its manuals. You can download the Nesco manual, which is about the same. You can also go to EBay and buy a manual- they come up for sale (just the manual) from time to time.

Hi, I lost my manual for my Rival Electric Roaster oven model no. R0220W. I have never used it so I am not even sure how big a turkey I can use in it. It is a 20 qt.
Thanks for any help someone can give.

About 18 pounds is the best. You can go a bit larger, but the cooking is not as even. Go to the Nesco site above or eatturkey.com if you like, for more help.

Go to the manufacturer's website, read/download the manual. Programmables are not my bag- they vary from brand to brand. Use a thermometer and start checking at least 1/2 hour before you think it will be done. Preheat the oven at least 20 minutes. If you want brown, start in a preheated regular oven for 500 degrees for 20 minutes before using the roaster.

This is a really stupid question, but you do have to put water at the bottom of the roaster to cook a turkey right?
|
ellen

Very usual question. It already cooks quite moist, you do not have to put water in the bottom of the cookwell. Do put the little rack in the bottom.

UNfortunately, the website now longer exists...at least it says that on my computer. Can you just please tell me if the turkey coooks faster in the roaster as mine somehow turned off and now I am afraid it won't be done on time.

It usually cooks a little faster. Use a meat thermometer.

I ran into your thread, and have my manual here...it says to not add any liquids (yummier skin. Preheat for 20 mins. Turkey prebasted: 375 degrees for 12-15 mins per pound (more per pound the closer your bird is to 22 lbs) and for fresh turkey (only 10-14 lbs) it says use 350 degrees 15-17 mins. Safe poultry is 165 degrees at the breast but don't forget the bird will continue to cook a little after you take it out of the oven, so you might remove it when breast meat is 155 degrees. Happy Thanksgiving

cooking turkey in a rival roaster?
when cooking a turkey in a rival roaster, do you put water on the bottom or just the turkey and seasoning and then just cook it or add water?
|
ellen
12/24/08
|
I do not add any water- the roaster cooks moist already. I do put a cake rack in the bottom to keep the turkey out of the juice, and I do PAM the cookwell.

I never add liquids and I use the Rival roaster oven. According to the owner's guide, "to create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left of cooking." I always have so much juice on the bottom when the food is almost done, I do not need to add anything. It also says on another page that "reducing temp and increasing time will result in a darker crispier crust." I cook my turkey on 325 and baste every half hour and it comes out great. It usually ends up taking about the same amount of time that is on the turkey package since I remove the lid so much and cook at a lower temperature.

I too lost my instructions for my Rival 20qt electric roaster and need to know if I can heat a bone in fully cooked spiral ham in it. I tried it one year and placed the ham on foil on the rack. It didn't heat it more than the bottom inch or so. Will it work without the foil?
|
ellen

Preheat the oven. I just posted this info yesterday on another thread:
Reheating these whole hams is a little tricky because they tend to get dry as they get warm. If you want to reheat carved ham, USDA recommends heating only those slices needed and not the entire ham.
To reheat a spiral-sliced ham in a conventional oven, cover the entire ham or portion with heavy aluminum foil and heat at 325 ºF for about 10 minutes per pound.
Spiral-sliced ham vacuum-sealed at a USDA-inspected plant will exhibit the USDA mark of inspection on the label. These spiral sliced hams should be cooked to an internal temperature of 140° F as measured with a food thermometer.
For spiral-sliced hams that have been repackaged in any location, reheat to 165° F. Individual slices may also be warmed in a skillet or microwave.
Fully cooked hams can also be sold unsliced, If you want to reheat a whole ham, use a preheated oven set no lower than 325° F and, like spiral-sliced hams, heated to an internal temperature of 140° F as measured with a food thermometer.
IMPORTANT!!! For fully cooked ham that has been repackaged in any other location or for leftover fully cooked ham, reheat to 165° F.

Lost manual for Rival Electric Roaster

These manuals are available from time to time on EBay- you may want to check. Any roaster manual will give you recipes that will work in your roaster. Or you can use it as a slow cooker, 195-200 for low, 290-300 for high.

You can also call their service number:

They can email most of their manuals and are nice to work with.

i lost my manual and i have never used the roaster before....I bought it because my sister has one and said she uses it just like a over and i recently moved out and dont have a oven....is it possible to cook chicken parm in a roaster oven? My sister said that i can put it in a pan and place the pan into the roaster and it will work fine...In my roaster there is a bin that comes out i am assuming for easy cleaning....can i cook the parm directly in that? or will it just burn? thank you for your help
|
ellen

Melissa, the pan that comes out is called the cookpan. You CAN cook directly in it, but that is usually done for large item, or for large amounts of casseroles, soups or stews. For something like chicken Parmesan, you want to put the little rack on the bottom of the oven and put your sheet or pan on the rack. For best success with roasters, preheat for 15-20 minutes, keep the lid on, and remember that they tend to cook faster and moister than ordinary ovens.
My family cooked and baked for 2 years with only a roaster when we lived in Taiwan. Mom made everything she made in the regular oven in the roaster.

I am roasting my turkey tonight in the oven and want to use my Rivel Roaster to warm the sliced meat tomorrow. Do I put water in the bottom and use the take out pan or do I put the meat directly in the pan? Should I keep the broth in with the meat or not? Thanks for your help.

DO NOT EVER put water in the roaster under the cook pan. It is unsafe and interferes with heating. See my article on reheating turkey in the holiday cooking section at the top of big pots for help with temp, time, etc.

I am using the 18 quart roaster with the three separate containers for vegetables. Do i need to put water anywhere in the cooker or do i simply heat @ 300?
|
ellen

The buffet server is only a warmer and cannot be safely used to heat/cook the food. That must be cooked/heated on the stove or in the oven, then transferred to the warmers. You do put some water in the cook pan under the warmer dishes. Here is the manual; see pages 6 and 7.

I have 12 to 13 lbs of rib eye roast, what temp. and how long should I cook it for
|
ellen
12/24/09
|
Damian, I don't recommend the Nesco for this job as it cooks so moist, unless you use Alton Brown's suggestion of running the roast into a preheated 500 degree oven for at least 15 minutes at the end of cooking time to get the crust.
For low and slow, 17-19 minutes per pound at 325. Preheat oven at least 30 minutes; also, follow all the suggestions on the prime rib/ roast beef page; and use a thermometer for the internal temp; some of these, because of shape, previous freezing, or processing, cook MUCH faster than the standard time.
You can hold at 165 with the lid ajar if it finishes too early.

Yes, it will be fine, you just turn the roaster up high enough to boil, keep it covered, and don't fill more that about 2/3 full (including the crab/shrimp).

cooking pork butt roasts
I set Temp. on 300 for numerous pork roasts. To make pulled pork. Cooked over night approx. 8 hrs and pork was not done and was alittle brown on top. I don't want anyone to get sick should I just throw away and start over. Or do you think that the pork is fine and needs more cooking time?
|
ellen
05/23/10
|
Not ruined if it has been refrigerated since you took it out. Pork hits a plateau at 160-65, can hang there for literally hours before going to 180, where it needs to be for pulled pork. You probably put cold meat into a cold roaster... Can take up to an hour per pound if the roaster is really full.
Anyway, preheat the roaster, put it in and use a thermometer, cook the pork to 180 internal temp.
