How Do You Use A Roasting Spit?
A roasting spit is designed to allow you to cook a whole animal and have enough food to feed a large party. Roasting spits are most commonly used with pigs and lambs, but any medium sized animal could be cooked on a spit. A Roasting spit is usually a horizontal bar supported by end frames which holds the carcass over the fire. Read on to learn more. Prepare the carcass you are going to roast. Clean it inside and out thoroughly with fresh water. Salt the inside of the stomach cavity. Stuff the carcass if you intend to. Secure the carcass to the horizontal bar of your roasting spit. This is commonly done by inserting the bar through the tail end and pushing it until it comes out the mouth. Secure it by tightening a piece of wire around the animals spine and the spit bar. If you decided to stuff the carcass you will need to tie it to the bar instead. Be sure to use wire to tie it to the bar and tighten the wire with pliers so it does not fall off while cooking.
