To provide even roasting, the rod is turned, manually or by a motor, during cooking. This process is known as rotisserie cooking. When roasting, allow the meat to warm up slightly if it is taken cold from the refrigerator, since meat that is very cold will does not roast consistently throughout. Use a well made roasting pan to cook the meat. Pans with high sides and good quality materials will enable the meat to roast more evenly as the pans conduct the heat more effectively.
