Is it to cook 2 turkeys or a ham on the bottom and a turkey on top? Would love your thoughts ~ <br /><br />Sheila<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303102132962692092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-41417225083833830932016-11-24T09:23:41.709-05:002016-11-24T09:23:41.709-05:00Can someone post the manual??Can someone post the manual??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177282015384080541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-61753351969586635102016-07-25T13:48:47.512-04:002016-07-25T13:48:47.512-04:00Hi SleeplessDemelza, I'd love a copy of the ma...Hi SleeplessDemelza, I'd love a copy of the manual if you have it... thanks Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045166352397546573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-70221101816844529972016-01-31T04:11:19.959-05:002016-01-31T04:11:19.959-05:00I am 73 years young and I have this same pan; it w...I am 73 years young and I have this same pan; it was MY GRANDMOTHERS!

I actually have the manual!!! My husband found one of these roasters on eBay about a decade ago; I think we spent around $20, and it was money well spent.<br /><br />My mother-in-law still has her roaster, and she copied the manual for me. You can bake cakes and do all sorts of things with it, although I admit we've only used it for poultry so far.<br /><br />It is quite a few pages long, but I guess I will try to scan it and make a file for this. Anyone still interested in getting this guide? Feel free to email me, since I may not remember to check back here.<br /><br />mkvl66@yahoo.comSleeplessDemelzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816580952446763104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-42017366954749583042012-02-22T21:56:48.564-05:002012-02-22T21:56:48.564-05:00Laurie - I have to admit, it would never occur to ...<b>Laurie</b> - I have to admit, it would never occur to me that a roasting pan would have an owner's manual!<br /><br />Like I mentioned in my write-up, I've found lots of uses for it beyond just roasting, but those uses just sort of suggested themselves when I had a problem to solve that other pans or utensils didn't seem to fit.<br /><br />When you mention canning, are you thinking of using it as a steam canner? If you are, there are sites on the web where you can get advice for steam canning that you should be able to adapt for the pan, but to tell the truth, I don't really trust steam canning to do a good job and most books on preservation don't really recommend it.<br /><br />I will, though, keep an eye open for some sort of "official" manual for the pan, and if I find it, I'll let you know.<br /><br />In the meantime, you might try writing to Wearever. Even though they don't make the pan anymore, they are still in business and might be able to help you out with some info if they maintain a company archive. You could start at www.wearever.com - I think they have a contact form there.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866627809585257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-39311981716885010782012-02-22T19:44:21.945-05:002012-02-22T19:44:21.945-05:00I was just browsing the net and discovered your si...I was just browsing the net and discovered your site! Eureka! <br />I finally identified my 'on-a-whim visit and spontaneous purchase' roaster here on your site. <br />Yes, I agree. It is a wonderfully made product, but I could really use some sort of springboard on how to use it to its fullest purpose... canning as well. <br />Would you know how I could get a copy of the manual? Apparently there was a "copied" version on eBay, but the bid is now closed... sniff.<br />The Wear Ever model# is "Pat. 1788817", as stamped under the handle. Under the main body is "No. 825-FR"<br />Would appreciate any advice!<br /><br />Thanks much,<br />Laurie, Calif.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135276570973509658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-18643964875092552732012-01-23T15:13:10.258-05:002012-01-23T15:13:10.258-05:00Melissa - Please send me an email using the Contac...Melissa - Please send me an email using the Contact Me form and I'll email you a picture of the rack.

Here ...I have one of these, my second one actually. Here is the story. I got my first from my mother's back porch about 35 years ago, she didn't want it, it came from my dad's sister. I used it for years. At a flea market, I saw a duplicate, as shiny as new and in better conditon, I got it for $5. I gave my old one to my daughter, and she was thrilled. I had experimented over the years trying to make the perfect turkey, brown paper bags, breast side down, blah blah, till my family pleaded me to STOP, just use the roaster, it was perfect.<br /><br />I needed a picture to show some people and found your site.
