Roasting is a cooking method that involves cooking food evenly in an oven or over an open flame. This technique is commonly used for meats, such as chicken, beef, and pork, as well as vegetables. The high heat helps to create a browned, flavorful exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. To roast effectively, food is typically seasoned and placed in a roasting pan. The temperature is usually set between 300°F and 450°F (150°C to 230°C), depending on the type of food. Roasting can enhance the natural flavors and textures, making it a popular choice for many dishes.
