Roasting meat
! Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on the gas
burners.
! Use heatproof ovenware for roasting with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures;
! It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during roasting
you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water-do not pour cold water
over the meat.
