Broiling and Roasting Foods

If you need 600 three-ounce servings, you need 1800 ounces of cooked meat. Divide that by 16 ounces per pound to get 112.5 pounds. But that's the amount you'll have after a 15-percent reduction in weight. In other words, what you're left with after cooking is 85 percent of what you popped in the oven. So divide 112.5 by 0.85 to get 132.35 pounds. That's one big butt!

yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings active time: 1 1/2 hr total time: 3 1/2 hr Ingredients: 1 (8- to 9-lb) capon or oven stuffer; preferably not frozen 2 3/4 teaspoons salt 1 3/4 teaspoons black pepper 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lemon zest 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme plus 10 sprigs fresh thyme 2 lemons, halved 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 6 shallots, trimmed, leaving root ends intact, and halved lengthwise 4 medium red onions, trimmed, leaving root ends intact, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide wedges 4 medium yellow onions, trimmed, leaving root ends intact, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide wedges 2 cups chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Special equipment: kitchen string; an instant-read thermometer Garnish: lemon wedges and fresh thyme sprigs Preperation Rinse capon inside and out and discard any excess fat from cavity. Pat capon dry inside and out, then sprinkle cavity with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Put capon in a large flameproof roasting pan (17 by 12 by 3 inches) and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. While capon is standing, stir together butter, zest, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Starting at neck cavity, gently slide an index finger between skin and flesh of breast to loosen skin (be careful not to tear skin). Push butter mixture evenly under skin on both sides of breast, then rub outside of capon to distribute butter evenly. Tuck wings under. Put thyme sprigs and lemon halves in large cavity and tie legs together with string. Pour lemon juice all over capon and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast capon 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and add shallots and onions to pan, tossing with pan juices. Continue roasting capon, basting with pan juices and stirring shallots and onions every 30 minutes, until thermometer inserted 2 inches into fleshy part of a thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, about 1 1/2 hours more. Tilt capon so juices in large cavity run into roasting pan, then transfer capon to a cutting board (do not clean roasting pan) and let stand, uncovered, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer shallots and onions to a sieve held over roasting pan to drain any pan juices. Transfer shallots and onions to a bowl and stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4teaspoon pepper. Pour pan juices into a 1-quart glass measure, then skim off fat and reserve fat and juices separately. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners. Add 1 cup chicken stock to pan and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits, about 1 minute. Add to glass measure with pan juices. Cook flour and 2 tablespoons reserved fat in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, whisking, until smooth, then add remaining cup chicken stock in a stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Whisk in reserved pan juices and cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in remaining teaspoon chopped fresh thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Carve capon and serve with shallots, onions, and sauce.

Meats do not last long in the refrigerator. Only about 3 to 4 days if it is raw. Then 1 to 2 days longer if cooked and placed in an airtight container. You should always cover meats when stored in the fridge.

You should never thaw out any meat product, cook it, and the re-freeze it. This is because all meat contains a level of harmful bacteria. When you freeze it these bacteria do not stop multiplying but do so at a much reduced rate; this, incidentally, is why you need to know the "star" rating of your freezer, different star ratings indicate how low a temperature is reached by it so: 1 star = eat within 1 month of freezing, 2 star = 2 months, 3 stars = 3 months.

As the meat thaws out the rate at which the bacteria multiply speeds up, a rate which will be further increased as it's cooked (cooking will never reach the temperature required to kill off bacteria). It will, however, still be at safe levels. These levels will remain safe for a day or two after cooking.

If, however, after cooking you re-freeze the meat the levels of harmful bacteria in it will be far higher than they were when it was originally frozen. Now when you thaw the meat out and harmful bacteria begin to multiply at an increased rate the thawing process is starting with high levels of bacteria to begin with. Having thawed out these may well now be at dangerous levels.

You cook a pork roast with the string on so it won't fall apart. hope this helps :D

Braise it. Put it in a casserol dish with a bit of water, cover it with foil or a tin pie pan, and cook it in the oven at about 400 - 450 ºF. It doesn't really matter much whether you use the bake or broil setting.

no

No you ought to not adopt any assorted them

It depends on how you like your steak. For Medium try 4-5 minutes each side. For rare a little less, for well done a little more.

No, if you boil it then broil it, the tail will be overdone.

I put the who horse chestnut on the grill and cook till it opens. Then take the two (or as many as there are) out of the shell and place the nuts back on the grill cooking them till there roasted completely black. Then i put then in a small metal bowl and crush them with a rock till the texture looks like coffee. Smells GREAT! I did try to make coffee with it but after taking a sip my wife told me i was crazy so i didn't drink the rest.....I guess i will never know if it's good for me! :0(

A few minutes each side at full heat, maybe 3 each. Best way to check if it is done is by poking it to see if it is firm (or rather, firm-ish for a rarer cook).

put the roaster in the microwave

You can roast them in butter or margarine in a frying pan, but over-roasting may harden their texture (as well as drying them out). You may want to try boiling them unless a particular texture is required.

If you are making Imam Bayaldi, +/- 30 minutes depending on their size.

Some people would bake them until they are almost done, then finish them the last several minutes or so by broiling them to brown them on top. If one tries to broil them the whole way through, they may burn on top before they get done in the middle, which is why they bake most of the way, then just FINISH with the broiling.

well you can cook them together and usually once they are fully cooked they maintain the same texture so its not like one might be over cooked. in the event that the smaller one seems cooked or a little over done...dont worry...the longer they cook , the better they fall apart, melt in your mouth and have better flavor. if you wanted too you could also put the larger one in first, cook it a bit and then add the smaller one later if you were really worried about it

Typically I use a boneless pork loin. If I'm making a pulled pork dish I use a butt roast aka shoulder roast.
