[Ms V]

Hi

I would like to use my new lisk roaster to roast a roast, complete with venting instructions...I am hoping to get a recipe like my Grams, anyway I would appreciate all suggestions....v

hi ms v, i do chickens in the lisk...ten minute preheat at 500, chicken in uncovered for 15 minutes, lid on both vents open for about 30 minutes and oven off till ready to eat.

[Ms V]

Thanks, Ha,

Do you add carrots or anything? Will try that soonest...v

i haven't gone the full chicken and veggie route yet...still trying to wrap my brain around the time to add the veggies and how long they should cook..hate over cooked veggie-mush. the bird always turns out perfectly which furhter complicates my effort to add the veggies as alli can see is a lot of over cooked stuff if i don't time it properly. and worse yet, i haven't looked in the cookbook to see what the real process should be !

Ha,

Did the chicken. ! Looked just as good as the HEB roasted. Now to get my seasonings right. I used just a little garlic powder. Maybe next time lemon pepper. The chicken was about 3 ? lbs. Next time I will cut back on gas time from 30 min to 20 min. The breasts were getting just a tad dry, My honey, Ken, even boned it while I was cleaning up the roaster...v

Just a thought on the veggies.... use large chunks. That always helps on the mush factor. I like to quarter artichokes and add them to the mix.

I just got a lisk roaster that I found at a tag sale. It has the double vents. I was thinking about cooking my fresh ham in it for easter. I've never used one before any suggestions on cooking a fresh ham in it?

I have been using my Lisk a lot. We eat a lot of chicken and what I usually do is drizzle some olive oil on it, sprinkle it with seasoned salt and add some thyme. My family likes it and I have noticed that if I keep the vent open, it browns better and is less 'steamed' than when I used my old, unvented roaster.

I have not tried putting veggies in it but I am thinking of using a beef roast and adding the potatoes and carrots. I will definitely look through the Idle Hour for that one, though.

The beef roasts are wonderful in the LISK roasters. Combined with the CHAMBERS retained heat cooking, they turn out incredibly well.

One word of advice: If you think you've got a fairly tough piece of meat, burn the gas a little longer or, (preferred by me) let it cook longer than the time chart says. The longer cooking time, even if you have to burn the gas again toward the end and cook with the gas turned off some more, makes for a much more tender roast.
