Roasting Meat

1. Very cold meat won’t roast evenly. Place it on the counter while preheating the oven.



4. Give it a rest. A roast’s internal temperature will rise about 10 degrees while resting. The natural juices will also reincorporate into the meat’s fibers and the skin or crust will dry out slightly for a more toothsome yet more succulent dinner.
