| Cook's Illustrated magazine just did a big article on the perfect roast chicken. Bottom line was use a V-rack, mix herbs and butter and spread evenly under skin (between skin and meat), start roasting breast side down and then move to breast side up. If you want exact temps, etc., let me know and I'll check the issue. Aderyn |

| PS: You all made me so hungry for roast beef I made some, and this week for lunch I'm having roast beef rollups with LaTortilla whole wheat, roast beef, lettuce, and horseradish. Yum! Aderyn |

| Trina thanks so much for your help! I will try it again your way. Maybe my mistake was to over cook it?? Now I dont have a rack for it to sit on in the pan is that ok? Blessings, Carol **** Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (NKJV)**** |

| Carol, A rack isn't vital; just gives you that delicious, brown crust all the way around. But it will come out fine just sitting in the pan. I use a heavyweight cookie sheet, and spray it with oil (I have a Misto with XV olive oil in it, but Pam will do) so it won't stick. Or, if you have it, that new non-stick Reynold's Wrap is terrific. BTW: Cook's Illustrated magazine is a great source for food info; they test the heck out of everything. Trina Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love. - Craig Claiborne |

| I agree, Trina. I get tons of good ideas out of Cook's. Reading about their recipe testing really helps me understand the "science" of cooking, too, which makes it much easier when I'm trying to wing it with something. I even belong to their Website (which, by the way, has a lot of good free information as well as the subscribers only section). Aderyn |

| Aderyn, on the roast chicken, if you could share the temp, etc., I'd appreciate it. Ya know, I had some bad experiences with roasting things in the oven when I was first a young wife (way back when), and I think I just dropped the oven in favor of other ways of cooking. But hey, I think it's time to get over it BC 172/108/108 Zone since 4/98 |

| First of all, the Website is www.cooksillustrated.com. Re: the chicken. They recommend brining it (soaking in salted water). They made a paste of rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil and spread it BENEATH the chicken's skin (between skin and meat). They started the chicken breast-side DOWN at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then turned it breast-side up, rubbed with olive oil, reduced heat to 375, and finished roasting. I don't want to get too much more specific or I worry we'll be into copyright-infringement territory. Again, this info is from the January-February 2004 issue of Cook's Illustrated magazine. The information is also available on the Website (by subscription), and by the way, I believe there is a special on gift subscriptions right now. Aderyn |

| I bought a rotisserie on Monday and have cooked with it everday this week. I love it. I bought the compact showtime. The first thing I bought for it was chicken. It cooked a 6 pound chicken for me in about an hour and a half and it came out great. I would really recommend it. |
