Food Cooked With Charcoal Spit

By Nora Seabolt


Cooking foods using a charcoal spit is a great way to provide good looking and tasty foods that are healthy for you. Since there is little oil or grease, if any, introduced into the cooking process, calorie and fat content are drastically reduced.

There are a number of foods that can be cooked this way, and those include poultry, fish, pork, lamb, beef, and even vegetables can be placed in a spit hire to being out the flavor. However, a whole pig is often the preferred option at large functions, and there are a lot of reasons for this.

Baking and roasting have many similarities, but higher temperatures are often used for the latter. This is because it helps to cook meats more thoroughly and evenly since it is rotating.

You should consider several things if you are going to set up a charcoal spit. First of all, you have to consider the weather, particularly the direction of the wind and how hard it is blowing. 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. People are just happier when their stomachs are full than when they keep hearing their bellies rumble. Your party should be well remembered, and that means doing a good job of feeding your guests.

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.

If you are going to be roasting a whole pig, lamb, or goat, remember that it takes a long time for them to cook. A whole carcass weighing 125 pounds will take between 5 and 6 hours to reach desired internal temperatures. 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.

A lot of people enjoy cooking outdoors. 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.

Other reasons for standing at a grill or outdoor cooking equipment making sure the food is cooked just right have to include the pleasure it gives you to see the way others rave about your cooking prowess. When you add a spit to your repertoire of outdoor cooking equipment, you are also going to increase the number of smiles emanating from those who enjoy your foods.
