Roasting is a cooking method that uses dry heat, whether an open flame, oven, or other heat source. Roasting can cause caramelization or Maillard browning of the surface of the food, which is considered by some as a flavor enhancement.
ost meat roasts are large cuts of meat. Many roasts are tied with string prior to roasting, often using the reef knot or, in the more traditional sense, the packer's knot.
