OUTDOOR ROASTING
Introduction to Outdoor Roasting
Roasting foods give them a crisp and crunchy outside layer, while
keeping the inside moist. Start with a higher temperature to crisp and
brown the exterior and then lower the temperature to finish cooking.
Generally, tender cuts of meat or poultry are best for roasting.
To add flavor and keep foods moist, add water, broth, or wine to the
drip Drip Tray/Water Pan. Baste every half hour to keep foods from
drying out.
OUTDOOR ROASTING is continued on next page.
