Electric roaster

I along with alot of other mom's got the usual kitchen gadgets for Christmas. The one I want to tell you about is my GE 18 qt electric raoster. I have used it instead of my rgular ove ever since I got it. I am not sure how much I have saved on electricity but it is probally alot. We live in a city that buys power from a big company then resells it to its custumors. My mom lives a few miles away ,but in the rural area and her "per kilowatt" price is much lower.
I have found the anything I can cook in oven cooks just as well in the roaster. It uses 110 volts vresus the oven at 220. I reccomend these to anyone,as it seems more versatile that the little toaster oven I was tying to use.
Just my thoughts,

I have a Nesco roaster and use it a lot, especially in the summer. It is cheaper to operate than my big oven. Since it gets so hot here in the summer, I use it out on my patio table, so as to not heat up the air-conditioned house.

My husband bought a new microwave/convection oven. I am now trying to use the convection oven instead of the regular one. I am starting to really like it.
