That Everhot name makes me think of the tea sets from Britain. Is it the same company? Surely not, but they were also a mid-century brand. |

Thanks for the link polkanut ! I always like seeing the recipes in the old appliance books. It will definitely serve as good reference |

AJ, your roaster is really beautiful! Congratulations an a great find, especially with all the inserts too.
My Grandma had a roaster like this one. Every year during duck hunting season my Mom used to borrow Grandma's roaster to cook the pheasant and ducks that my Dad used to bring home after he went hunting. Mom always swore that this roaster was the only way to cook wild game birds. And all my Dad's friends loved those duck dinners that Mom would make for them. Eddie |

Interesting roaster; reminds me alot of a Nesco. I'd say it's from the late 30's. |

I had to do something similar with my big 1945 GE roaster. As long as you didn't disturb the asbestos, you should be OK.
My mom had a mid '40s Nesco about the same size as your unit. It worked fine, but made an odd crackling sound for about half a second as soon as the heating element was activated from a cold start. It was just a little too primitive for me so I let it go. I have a later Nesco of the same size that has a newer, safer heating system.
Can you share details on the burned wire? Did it just need to be re-attached to a terminal? |

AJ, I made that same type of repair on my GE. Twisting the wire back together isn't considered a permanent fix, though.
Check out the thread I've linked to. It documents the process for a permanent repair. If you plan on keeping your roaster and using it often, you'll want to fix it as shown in the thread (scroll down 50+ posts for that part of the discussion).
