Believe it or not when cooking a pig in the ground you dig a pit. Then start your fire either with hardwood or charcoal or both. Let the fire die down to coals. Put a sheet of metal over the pit then place the pig on top of that. Then put another sheet of metal over the pig. Then cover with dirt. Wait 6 to 7 hours, then remove dirt and pull the pig out and enjoy...

To use a roasting pan effectively for cooking, preheat the oven to the desired temperature, place the roasting pan in the oven to heat up, season the meat or vegetables, place them in the hot roasting pan, and cook until done, basting occasionally for added flavor and moisture.
The length of roasting time would depend on the size of the pig, whether or not you stuffed it, your coal load and the type of cooker. These comments concern a cooker with cover rather than open pit style. Most 275 gallon oil drum type of cookers are long enough for a 60-75 lb pig if part of the legs are removed to fit.7 hours is probably the outside length of time and would likely be a stuffed pig. If the pig is stuffed with fruit, veggies, sausages, poultry, etc. you will need to cook until they are done. If the cavity is open to the heat, the pig will cook from inside and outside but exposing the inside will cook it faster as the heat does not have to penetrate the thick skin and fat layer beneath it.BEST practice is to use a thermometer and occasionally stick it into the rump to check to see if it hit 140+ When the rump hits that, give it no more than 1 hour. Tend your coal and try not to open it up too often. Remember if it is enclosed, it is an oven and you are letting the heat out.
A good alternative to a roasting pan for cooking a large piece of meat is to use a baking sheet with a wire rack placed on top. This allows the heat to circulate around the meat, similar to a roasting pan, and helps the meat cook evenly.
You can use a cooling rack or a bed of vegetables as a substitute for a roasting rack.
depends. you could do it on the BBQ or in an oven or in a camp oven. In oven: Put it on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan. Pour some water into base of roasting pan so the meat doesn't dry out (make sure to keep the water topped up throughout cooking). Cook at around 190C until done. You can put a rub on it or score the skin and put herbs and spices on or use a marinade to make it more flavoursome. :)
To cook a delicious meal using a roasting pot, follow these tips: Preheat the oven before placing the roasting pot inside. Season the ingredients well with herbs, spices, and marinades. Use a rack inside the pot to elevate the food and allow for even cooking. Baste the food with juices or broth during cooking to keep it moist. Monitor the cooking time and temperature to prevent overcooking.
To properly tie a turkey before roasting, use kitchen twine to secure the legs and wings close to the body. This helps the turkey cook evenly and maintain a nice shape for presentation.
The Blackfoot got their food through both hunting and fishing. They also gathered an assortment of berries from wooded areas.
