I use the little 4qt., camping, for the 2 of us. Works just like the big one, on a smaller scale. Very versatile. Baked pasta type dishes are great, as well soups, stews and chili. Chickens, and other meats are moist and tender.
Nesco has a nice little cookbook to give you lots of ideas and from there, you can adapt your own recipes.
I like to take the pan out of the cook well, put the lid on the cook well and turn it all the way up, while I assemble the food in the pan. It is like preheating an oven. When hot, I quickly put the pan in and put the lid back on. I wait a couple of minutes and turn it to the desired temp.
When I do a chicken in the little one, or a turkey in the large one, I let them cook at the highest temp, on a rack, so the skin starts to brown. Then I turn the temp back.
