| A roasting box is an oven where the
heat source (charcoal or wood) is placed on top of the food,
instead of below the food as conventional ovens. This
type of cooking makes meats tender and juicy inside and
perfectly crispy outside. The
radiant heat comes from a steel plate on top of the oven
chamber, where the charcoal is fired.
To get the most of it, some roasting
boxes have grills on top. The user can roast in the
oven and grill on top at the same time.
Traditionally roasting boxes have been
used for cooking large pieces of meat, especially whole
animals like pigs and lambs. But they are also great
for roasting any other type of meat: chicken, turkey,
roast beef, brisket, pork racks, lamb racks, ham, ribs and
any other. |
