Instructions: In China roasting is only done in commercial establishments since most homes do not have ovens. The Chinese roast food in large metal drumshaped ovens which stand about 5feet (15m) high and are fuelled by charcoal. The food is hung on hooks inside the oven over intense heat. The idea is to expose all the surface of the food to the heat to give it a crisp outer surface and a moist interior. You can approximate the Chinese method by putting food on to a rack in a roasting pan.
