Tips for roasting and grilling

The table does not contain information
for the weight of the joint.
How to tell when the roast is ready.
The roast is too dark and the crackling
is partly burnt.
The roast looks good but the juices are
burnt.
The roast looks good but the juices are
too clear and watery.
Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through

Slow cooking

Slow cooking, also known as low-temperature cooking, is the
ideal method for cooking tender pieces of meat medium rare or
medium. The meat remains very juicy and turns out as soft as
butter. The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots of
scope for menu planning because slow-cooked meat is easy to
keep warm.
Suitable cookware
Use a flat dish, e.g. a porcelain serving plate or a glass roasting
dish without a lid.
Always place the open dish on the wire rack at level 1.
Method

Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a "spoon test".
Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be
pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
Check the shelf height and temperature.

There is no need to turn a whole fish. Place the whole fish in the
oven in its swimming position with its dorsal fin facing upwards.
Placing a scored potato or a small oven-proof container in the
stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.
For fish fillets, add a few tablespoons of liquid to braise.

Notes
Only use fresh, good-quality meat Carefully remove sinews
and fat. Fat develops a strong, distinct taste of its own during
slow cooking.
Sear the meat over a very high heat and for a sufficiently long
time on all sides, including the ends.
Larger pieces of meat do not need to be turned.
Meat can be carved immediately following slow cooking. No
standing time is required.
Due to the special cooking method, the meat looks pink, i.e.
medium rare. This does not mean, however, that it is raw or
not well done enough.
If you would like gravy with your meat, cook using ovenware
with a lid. Please take note that the cooking times will be
reduced.
In order to check whether the meat is cooked, use a meat
thermometer. A core temperature of 60 °C must be
maintained for at least 30 minutes.
Table
Any tender cut of poultry, beef, veal, pork and lamb is suited to
slow cooking. The slow cooking times depend on the thickness
and the inside temperature of the meat.
