Cooking Food With A Charcoal Spit

By Nora Seabolt


Foods cooked on a charcoal spit are not only tasty, but they are also good for you. Since there is little oil or grease, if any, introduced into the cooking process, calorie and fat content are drastically reduced.

You can cook a wide variety of foods on a spit hire, and they include lamb, poultry, beef, fish, and vegetables. However, it is the whole pig which is seen most often, and the reasons for this are plenty.

Baking and roasting have many similarities, but higher temperatures are often used for the latter. This tends to cook the meat more thoroughly and since it is rotating, more evenly as well.

When deciding to set up a charcoal spit, there are a few things that should be considered. First, you have to determine if the weather is going to be your friend, a windy day requires special precautions. Of course, you can accommodate any weather conditions if you can find suitable shelter.

Because it is much better to have a little extra than not to have enough, it is important that you consider this when planning your next roasting party. Remember, people with full stomachs are much happier than those who are running on empty. Everyone wants guests going away speaking well of you, so when you put on the feed do it with style.

Most parties are planned events, so if you are going to be using a charcoal spit to make your guests happy, make sure to make preparations well in advance. That means purchasing the meat you want to roast well in advance so your guest will not be disappointed because you could not find the right cut at the last minute.

The main thing to remember when cooking a whole carcass is that it takes time to cook. When you are cooking an entire carcass such as a lamb, goat, or pig, it takes from 5 to 6 hours for it to cook. You should not wait until right before guests are expected to arrive to begin the cooking process, unless it is to be an all day party.

The reason so many people like cooking outdoors is because it is a lot of fun. There are actually a variety of reasons people love cooking outdoors. One of those reasons is the sheer enjoyment that comes from simulating how food was cooked at an earlier time in human history.

Another reason people love cooking on a outdoor cooking equipment or grill out in the elements is that they wish to show off their cooking prowess. Adding to your repertoire of outdoor cooking implements with a spit is a great way to enjoy more smiles of pleasure coming from those who enjoy your foods.
