ROASTING MEAT

Beef Rib or Loin Roasts
Lamb Leg Shoulder, or Rib
Roasts
Veal Loin or Shoulder Roasts
Pork Loin or Shoulder Roasts
Spareribs
Roasting is really the exposing
of large pieces of meat to dry
heat, just as is broiling for small
cuts. Today roasting has come
to mean cooking or baking in the
oven. In olden days, roasting
meant cooking on spit before the
open fire.
To prepare meat for roasting,
trim and skewer into shape. If
meat is lean, rub lean parts with
drippings or place a few trim
mings of fat on top. Rub the sur
face of meat with salt following
n teaspoon to the pound) and
pepper. Some roasts, as pork and
leg of lamb, are occasionally
dredged with flour. Some cuts of
veal require boning, rolling, and
stuffing. In the case of roast fresh
ham, score the fat and put about
" inch of water in pan.
To roast in an open pan, set
roast, fat side up, on a trivet or
rack. If closed rooster is used,
cover tightly after soaring. Place
roast in a very hot oven and scar
until lightly Drowned. Reduce heat
and continue roasting. Basic every
20 minutes, using at first a little
hot water and, later, the liquid in
the pan. When half done, turn
roast over so that the cooking will
be even. If a closed rooster is
used, uncover for the last 20 or
80 minutes of cooking.
