Cooking With The BeefEater Roasting Hood cont.
If you are cooking a roast, it is always a good idea to use a roast holder and baking dish. This will keep the meat away from the direct heat source but allow the meat to cook by convection. (This is essential in the case of the 2 burner barbecue where the meat tray will be sitting over direct heat). Note: Do not use a baking dish/tray with a depth less than 35mm. Shallow trays will fill quickly and overflow, which could cause a grease fire.
Note: Opening the Hood: The more the roasting hood is opened to attend to cooking food the more heat will be lost, lengthening the cooking time.
Do not use more than two burners on high at any one time. This may cause damage to the barbecue and roasting hood.
The roasting hood can retain a great deal of heat and therefore, constant monitoring is required. The barbecue should be attended at all times.
There is sufficient heat generated by two burners, one each end of the barbecue, to roast: lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, etc. As a temperature guide, two burners on Low will produce approximately 300°F (150°C) and two burners on High will produce approximately 460°F (240°C). Windy conditions and cold weather will also affect hot plate temperature.
