The term 'Roast'
« on: August 10, 2005, 05:08:30 PM »
So, is roasting just cooking meat at a low temp for a long period of time?

I want to roast my turkey legs, but then i think 'well, isn't that baking?'

I  think the difference is with roasting you coat it or baste it with oil (or whatever) whereas baking is dry. /;]'/

That's my definition too...
 
like when you cook roast turkey for thanksgiving you usually baste it during the cooking to seal in the juices....or get the self-basting kind.

yet, it is called "roast" beef isn't it...and I don't do much to it...well, I do dump beer over it while it is cooking...

Wow, he's so young to be writing code ;)

Whilst I changed the topic (sorry couldn't resist) can you guys please remind me of the American versions, broiled, shredded (grated?) etc- ooh I'd forgotten this stuff. I *think* broil is *grill*? It's just so close to boil!

I just gave you cake and you just gave me grill- unfair exchange, I demand a refund ;)

OK, I'm on another planet today.

The first thing that popped to mind were the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts...

Help - I'm losing my mind!

Or the Roasts on Comedy Central  (ever seen one of those)?

There was just one for Pamela Anderson.  I didn't get to see it, I wish I could have!
