Tis the season to be roasting...
or is it anymore? The holiday sea
son is traditionally one of food
filled festivities with family and
friends. But as the 90’s march on,
some favorite meal traditions are
getting their "marching orders." In
a national consumer survey con
ducted by the National Pork Pro
ducers Council earlier this year,
consumers said that, while they’d
like to cook more often, they feel
they simply do not have the time..
For the novice cook, the thought
of roasting may conjure up a

"State-Occasion" type of meal,
like dinner at Grandma’s—heavy,
hearty meals featuring a large
piece of meat, mystifying, daunt
ing and impossible to carve. But
savvy cooks know that roasting is
one of the most fool-proof ways to
serve a small group or a crowd.
The only equipment needed is an
oven and a meat thermometer.
Roasting, a dry-heat cooking
method, performs best with tender
meat cuts tenderloin, loin and
ribs. Unlike braising or stewing,
roasting will not tenderize meats

meat And be careful not to over
cook; it is hard to mask an over
cooked roast

with kitchen twine to help hold it
together during cooking.
Season the roast with saUand
pepper or your favorite herb mix

larger by an inch around the roast
is ideal. The rack (this can be a
cake-cooling wire rack or a couple
of 7-ounce empty and cleaned tuna
cans, both ends removed) keeps
the roast from steaming or braising
in its juices as it roasts.
Place the roast in a preheated
oven. Many meats roast well in a
32S degree oven. Some cooks
favor "searing'' the roast in a hot
(450 degree F.) oven for the first 15
minutes of roasting time, and turn-
