The slow cooker is a great kitchen tool to help you get more done with less work and time. And by work I mean, not a lot of time needed to do it. Having a healthy meal in the slow cooker is easy and enjoyable. Roasted potatoes, green beans, and spinach with garlic and balsamic for a warm and hearty meal. Slow cookers can do a lot to make life easier. Cooking can get a little tedious, but if you have a slow cooker to handle the rest, you can have dinner ready to serve whenever you want. If you have a small kitchen, it can help to multitask as well, and not have to worry about dirty dishes to deal with.
The Dry Method
If you don’t have a roasting machine, you can use a dry method to roast your own turkey. This is a straightforward way to do it, but there are some things you should know first. Before you start, you’ll want to make sure you have a fairly clean surface. This includes wiping down your counter and oven racks. When you’re done roasting, you should let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help the meat firm up so it doesn’t shrink too much when you cut into it. You should let it rest for as long as it takes to cook the turkey to the desired temperature. However, it’s always best to check to make sure your internal temperature is at 165 degrees when you’re done. If it’s not, let the turkey rest longer.
The Basics of Roasting a 2 lb Roast
For the most part, roasting has been a simple process. With roast chickens and beef you just add seasonings or rubs, pop it into the oven and it’s done. But, with a 2 lb roast there is a little more to it. For starters, you will want to make sure that the roast fits in your oven. It should be a full sized oven which will give you room for it to brown. If you aren’t sure what size your oven is, go ahead and measure it to make sure.
The Wet Method
Roasting a turkey takes a long time, but it is extremely rewarding. To roast a turkey, you will need to make sure you have all your equipment in place and ready to go. To begin, the first step is to wash the turkey thoroughly. Then, trim the excess fat off of the breast, neck and legs. Next, remove the wing tips, but keep the drumsticks. Take off the giblets and discard them. If you’re cooking a 10-pound bird, you should aim for 18 to 20 hours of cooking time. You can help reduce the time it takes to cook the bird by placing it in the refrigerator and brining it. For best results, the brine should be as salty as the ocean. For brine, combine one gallon of water, 2 tablespoons salt and a tablespoon of sugar and mix well. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and then pour the brine over it. Cover the pan and leave it in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Once the bird is in the brine, take it out and rinse it thoroughly. Then, dry it well and pat it down with paper towels. If you’re preparing your turkey just before you plan to eat it, you can pop it in the oven right away. However, if you’re planning to freeze it, it’s best to brine it and then put it in the freezer. This will allow you to remove the turkey from the
The Clean-Up Method
Firstly, the roast needs to be cleaned. This involves running a brush through the barrel to remove the excess fat. Make sure the brush is clean and dry, and then sweep all the butter out of the roasting pan. Now, take the roast out of the pan and place it on a flat surface. Make sure the roast is flat, and lay a heavy frying pan on top of it. Place something heavy on top of the pan so it doesn’t move. Place the entire frying pan and the roast into the fridge for 30 minutes. This allows the heat to penetrate the meat, which causes the fat to rise to the surface and solidify. This is the same process used by a butcher when scraping fat from cuts of meat.
The Sauces
A two pound roast of beef can feed 4 people. That’s a lot of food! However, unless you want to spend hours cooking it, it’s not really practical to cook a two pound roast of beef. If you put the roast into a slow cooker with a roast beef stock, you should be able to get away with cooking the beef for about three hours. You’ll want to remove the beef, and then allow the meat to cool and rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking it. You’ll want to make the stock into a sauce that is mostly onions. The onions will help reduce the overall acidity of the roast, so you’ll want to make sure the onions are cooked through and a bit browned before you add the roast.
