Resting meat

Roasted meat sits a few minutes so the juices settle back toward the middle.

What to do

  1. Take it off while it is still a couple of degrees under the target.
  2. Tent it loosely with foil. Five minutes for a steak, longer for a large piece.
  3. Slice only after that.

A common slip. The knife straight away, and the best juice stays on the board.
