TIPS & FAQs

Heat Tips

Whether using charcoal or gas, the secret is in perfecting the roasting temperature. You want a low heat, meaning you can hold your hand where the roast will be sitting for the count of three and no less.

You’ll want it a little cooler if you keep the lid down the whole time. Keep the temperature low, unless you’re planning to get the surface of the meat seared, forming a delectable crust. If so, start out on a high temperature for about 15 minutes and then reduce it. If you’re using charcoal, bank the coals close to the meat for about 15 minutes then pull them back, away from the roast.

Core temperature for Lamb – 68 degrees Celsius

Core temperature for Pork – 68 degrees Celsius (this is very important!)

Core temperature for Beef – from 60 to 68 degrees Celsius (you don’t want your beef to dry)

Dip Tray & Vegetables

Our gas braais have a drip tray located directly under the meat and this does not have to be moved.

Our charcoal braais have the coals directly under the meat so you cannot put a drip tray.

You can put your veg (baby marrows, patty pans, baby gems, baby carrots) at the bottom of the braai which will cook in the dripping of the meat. 

You need to be careful not to add the veg to early as they could break up. 

We recommend that you add the veg approximately 1 hour into the meat braaing. 

It is always safer to precook baby potatoes as you don’t want to wait for the potatoes to be cooked and the meat is done.

Carving Tips

The trick is to take it in sections. You’ll need a large area to work with and several serving dishes or something very large to put the meat into. Start by cutting away the hind legs. The meat should be very tender and should come apart pretty easy. 

Next work down through the shoulders and separate out the forearm sections. From here you can start carving up the individual sections. It helps if there are two people carving, but either way, take your time and you won’t have any problems.

Meat Seasoning

Our meat for our spit braais is seasoned as follows:

Lamb – we inject the meat with a special marinade.

Pork – we pickle in a special brine.

Beef – we use a wine based marinade.

Chicken – we offer the following options: lemon and herb, lemon and garlic and peri-peri.

Trouble Shooting

If you are experiencing difficulties with our braais please try the following:

Gas braai burners keep going off 
– Check if there is enough gas in the bottle
– Check if the wind is not affecting the burners
 
Motor is not working
– Check the power supply to the spit
– Check that the spit is switched on

If you are still experiencing problems please contact us immediately so that we can exchange the braai.
