SUPERIORITY OF BAKED MEATS Al :
ways keeping in view that the primary
problem in roasting is TO raise the tenn
perature throughout to the cooking heat
with the smallest possible degree of
dessiccation of the natural juices Of the
meat, and applying to this problem The
laws of vapor diffusion expounded in my
last, it is easy enough to understand
theoretical advantages CT roasting in a
closed oven, the space within which
s,>eedily becomes saturated with those
particular vapors that resist further vapor
lzation of the juices.
l say "theoretical," because despair OF
practically convincing any thoroughbred
Englishman that baked meat is better than
roasted meat by any reasoning whatever.
IT, however, he is sufficiently 'un-Gng-
lish" to test the question experimentally,
be may possibly convince himself. To do
this fairly, q large joint of meat should be
equally divided, one-half roasted in front
of the fire, the other in a noL-ventllaed
oven over little water by II cook who
knows how to heat the latter. This
condition is essential, as some intelligence
is demanded in regulating the temperature
of an oven, while any barbarian can carr y
out the modern modification of the OF binary
device of the savage, who skewers II bit
of meat, and holds this near enough to
IL fire to make it frizzle.
Having settled this question to my
own satisfaction more than twenty years
ago, now amuse myself occasionally by
experimenting upon OF hers.and continually
tinu that the most uncompl omislng theo-
retical halers of baked meat practically
prefer 1t to orthodox roasted meat, pro-
vided alwa,s that they eat it in ignorance
