Description
Insertion of fat strips and tying of whole roasts to retain moisture and ensure even cooking.
Technical
Larding introduces pork fatback or beef suet that melts around 40–45 °C, emulsifying with meat juices and reducing surface oxidation; trussing secures the shape, limiting juice loss and promoting uniform heat transfer. Together they create a juicier, more uniformly cooked roast while developing richer flavor compounds.
