Oven Roasting verses Spit Roast

Spit Hog Roasts, which are sold on other sites by other manufacturers, and are mainly imports, are just that, simple, inflexible, utterly pointless if the job you could have quoted for wanted something other than a Whole Roast Pig. Link: Find out what we mean here.

That does not mean we have never used them, 30 years ago we started out in catering with a spit roast we built, but we soon learned that this was not actually the best way to do roast meats, neither is it as economically flexible as a 'pan' roasting oven system, which is capable of so much more than just a 'gimmick'.

Spit roast manufacturers cannot say we do not know what we are talking about, because we were the first in the country to manufacture them, (they were imports otherwise) and we were also the first to switch away from them.

The number of clients we get who are also switching away from the spit roast, for various reasons, to our method of roasting, is ever increasing. Here is an email from just one of many very satisfied customers who made the switch

"Just an email to say thanks, we have used your Hog Roaster 6 times already and it saves a lot of time and hassle compared with the spit type ... Steve, Staffordshire, 2005.

What Does Our Unit Do?

The Combined Unit is capable of Hog Roasting and Professionally BBQing. This versitility means that quoting for any catering job is now as simple as changing a few accessories.

The Embers Hog Roaster is individually engineered to your needs, it is made so it can do a 'Whole Hog Roast', (with extra joints) cooked quickly and entirely at the event location, or a whole side of Beef, or a whole lamb etc. Then change the accessories and you are now able to do a professional BBQ.

 

 

You can do so much more with our units! The standard Embers Hog Roaster can roast a whole pig, up to 150lbs, with extra joints of meat in separate roasting trays, so you need never worry about the size of the pig, or the amount of meat you can cook. With the added extras you can now transform the Embers Hog Roaster into a commercial BBQ and have the flexibility of taking it out on other types of jobs that you are now able to quote for; this is the Combined Roaster & BBQ Unit. We can also supply you with extra shelves and roasting dishes to do a 'roast joints' menu, if for example the party do not require a whole pig for the event, but want a various selection of roast meats.

Serving From Any Location

Unlike other manufactured units using an Embers Hog Roaster you can provide carving and serving from any location at the event. For a ground floor indoor hog roast, the Embers Hog Roaster is simply wheeled in prior to carving. However, if this is not practical for the venue, then the whole roast pig is carried in and carved from a five foot long stainless steel tray placed on a serving table where it is required, keeping the wow factor.
