Cosyroast recipes

Healthy grilling

Look after your health! When preparing food on the CosyRoast meat and sausages have no direct contact with the flame. Nevertheless, a delicious grill aroma will still be generated. And you can use your CosyRoast to conjure up much more than this on to the table. The enamelled pan is ideal for trout and alike, and equally good for vegetables, paella or pancakes.

It only remains to answer the pressing question of matching the right meal to the right guest.

Meat and vegetables – Ingredients according to taste

Preparation:

You can fry meat and vegetables in the pan at the same time. We have designed the shape of the CosyRoast in such a way that it generates different temperature zones. Depending on requirements you can first begin to fry the meat and then place in the outer zones to cook through.
To cook vegetables it is best to use the lid supplied. Gently roast the vegetables and then cover. If you also wish to serve fish or meat, you can keep the cooked vegetables warm and use the pan for frying. Our tip: lightly salt you vegetables before serving. This keeps them crunchy and helps to retain aroma.

Roasting chestnuts - in autumn and winter

Preparation:

Roasted chestnuts are very easy to make with the roasting fire. You can roast approx. 1-1.4 kg in the pan. This quantity is sufficient as a side dish for 4 people. As an instant snack, it depends on the hunger of your guests - you will certainly have to add more chestnuts, they taste really delicious.
It's that easy: Heat up the roasting fire. Cut the chestnut skin crosswise, place it in the dry pan and put it on the fire. Put the lid on. After a few minutes, you will already notice a wonderfully nutty sweet aroma. The chestnuts will now slowly open. After about 5 minutes, turn the chestnuts over and then again about every 5 minutes. The chestnuts should darken but not burn. In between, put the lid on again and again. After about 20-25 minutes the chestnuts are roasted. The core is now mealy and soft. And finally, simply let them taste.
