The roasting hood works by circulating hot air and cooking vapors around the food. It allows you to cook indirectly, without heat directly under the food. It also traps in flavor, reduces cooking time and is more fuel efficient. High Profile: the curves of the hood give you maximum internal volume, allowing you to fit the largest possible roast or turkey. Unique Balanced Design: Instead of all the weight of the hood being supported on the back hinges, BeefEater have split the hood into two sections: - A fixed section which provides full wind shielding when the hood is up.
- A moving half which pivots from the side and slides over the fixed section.
This two part design allows the hood to be made of a heavier gauge steel yet still be light enough to move up and down since the rotating half is smaller than on most other designs.Importantly, it also allows the hood to open and close within the confines of the barbecue, allowing you to position the barbecue closer to a brick wall. Warming Rack: Provides more room for cooking by effectively providing another cooking surface. It doesn't get in the way, but instead uses the otherwise dead space at the top rear of the unit. Temperature Gauge: Large and easily viewable, the gauge is properly calibrated to give you an accurate idea of cooking temperatures, without needing to open the hood. Glass Viewer: Many hoods have a glass viewer made from high temp ceramic glass. This material is exceptionally scratch resistant, easy to clean and keep clean, and offers ideal protection against breakage from temperature extremes. |
