Tips on using the rotary spit
■ Place the joint as centrally as possible on the rotary spit and
secure it at both ends with the retaining clips.
■ You can also truss the joint with string. With poultry, bind the
ends of the wings underneath the back and the thighs
against the body. This prevents them from overbrowning.
Pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat
to escape.
Roasting tips
How can you tell when the roast is
ready?
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist retailers) 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.
The roast is too dark and the crackling
is burnt in places.
Check the shelf position and temperature.
The roast looks good but the juices are
burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid.
