GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ROASTING HOOD
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ROASTING HOOD
You may find it useful to purchase a meat thermometer
to help take the guess work out of cooking.
Meats such as beef, lamb, veal and pork should be
about 70˚C/160˚F when medium. Chicken and turkey
should be 85–90˚C/185–195˚F.
Most importantly, do not allow your barbecue to
overheat. Your hood is designed to keep the heat in,
and also requires constant monitoring.
Do not use more than 2 burners on high at any one
time. As a guide, for a 4 burner barbecue in moderate
weather:
Two burners on low produces 150°C/300°F
Two burners on medium produces 195°C/385°F
Two burners on high produces 240°C/460°F
For smaller barbecues, less heat is required. During
cold or windy conditions, more heat is required.
Finally, resist the temptation to keep opening the hood
while cooking. This will help to maintain a constant
temperature, and minimise cooking time.
