What is a spitroast?

A spit roast is a method of cooking food, typically large cuts of meat, on a rotating spit over an open flame. The food is slowly cooked and basted in its own juices, resulting in tender and juicy meat with a crispy outer layer.

Spit roasting can be done with a variety of meats, such as whole pigs, lambs, chickens, or beef roasts. It is a popular cooking method for barbecues, outdoor events, and roasting pits.

To spit roast meat, it is typically skewered onto a spit or rod that is then placed over an open fire or grill. The spit is turned regularly to ensure even cooking and to prevent the meat from drying out. Basting with marinades or sauces can also help to keep the meat moist and add flavor.

Spit roasting is a traditional method of cooking that dates back centuries and is still popular in many cultures around the world. It is a great way to feed a crowd and impress guests with a delicious and visually impressive meal.
