oven roasting

Enclosed heat preparation

Oven roasting is cooking food uncovered in an oven, using dry heat that circulates around the item.

The method suits large cuts of meat, whole poultry, and vegetables, producing browned exteriors while keeping interiors moist: Oven roasting a chicken at high heat gives you crispy skin.

The term distinguishes the technique from stovetop or open-fire roasting.
