1950's Westinghouse roasters

Roaster ovens

I have a Nesco and an older Westinghouse as well as the Westinghouse clock timer. I've never baked pies in mine, but I have cooked supper on the porch in the summer time using the insert pans as designed. It's fun and keeps the house cooler.

We've also used it to bake the turkey on Thanksgiving when the double ovens are filled with traditional casseroles.

Ralph, Your GE is beautiful! I think it might be a similar vintage to my Westinghouse.

I've thought about painting the Nesco--which I found on the curb between two houses in my neighborhood complete with all of the literature. Strangely, both neighbors said it wasn't theirs. The Westinghouse has beautiful painted script, so a paint job is not in its future.

I've stolen pictures from the internet since I don't have any of mine handy. I don't have a cabinet for either.

Sarah, your Nesco and its stand are like what my dad's cousin Mary had. I remember her keeping her delicious cornmeal yeast rolls warm in it.

I'm not sure, but I think the Westinghouse is one of the later ones - maybe early 60's. There may have been another restyling before Westinghouse sold the line to Hamilton Beach.

I like that Nesco, Sarah.  There is something to be said for hinged lids when work and/or cooking space is at a premium.
