Roasting
Roasting dishes
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (please read the instructions of the manufacturer).
• Large roasting joints can be roasted directly in the deep pan (if present) or on the wire
shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in a roasting tin with a lid. This will keep the meat more succulent.
• All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in the roasting
tin without the lid.
