Chestnut Roaster?
In my looking around for a chestnut cutter and chestnut knife I came across
a chestnut roaster for $25. This is nothing more than a pottery (called superstone) bowl with a lid. What advantages are there to using a roaster versus roasting them in the oven some other way? Picture can be found he http://www.eatgourmet.com/supchesroas.html Don <donwiss at panix.com>. |
Chestnut Roaster?
I've been roasting chesnuts the past three days - just for treats for the
family. I slash them, put them on a pan in the oven at 450 for about 20 minutes. I'll be darned if I can figure out the purpose of this container except maybe some people don't want them to dry out as much. But of course, I thought roasting meant not having a cover on it. Perhaps it's the same idea as baking bread in a covered cloche - is that the word? - whatever that does for bread, I've not figured out. my best, Dee "Don Wiss" > wrote in message ... > In my looking around for a chestnut cutter and chestnut knife I came across > a chestnut roaster for $25.

The same item appears on several pages. I wrote to one of them. His reply: "The earthenware roasters are a perfect vessel for the chestnuts in an oven or even a microwave. The roaster tends to hold moisture in the chestnuts better than the open oven." But then any covered pan would do. Don <donwiss at panix.com>. |
