A roasting support for a disemboweled fowl that has openings at the head and tail ends, includes a base member that carries a generally conical, imperforate plug member adapted to sealingly engage one of the open ends of the fowl to retain fluids within the fowl during roasting. The roasting support also includes an elevated support member adapted to support the other open end of the fowl at a higher level than the first open end thereof so that fluids added to the interior of the fowl or generated during roasting of the fowl are retained within the fowl during such roasting. The method of roasting the fowl includes the steps of supporting the fowl in an oven with one of the openings plugged to prevent leakage of fluids from the interior of the fowl, while the other of the openings is at a higher elevation than the first opening, and applying heat to the fowl for a sufficient period of time to roast the fowl. Fluid can be added to the interior of the fowl before or during the heating step.
A roasting support for a disemboweled fowl that has openings at the head and tail ends thereof, comprising a base member, a generally conical, generally imperforate plug member to prevent passage of fluid therethrough, having an apex portion, a base portion and a longitudinal axis, said plug member being carried by said base member with said apex portion extending upwardly therefrom and adapted to engage with one of said head and tail openings in said fowl for sealing said one opening to retain fluids within said fowl during roasting thereof, and support means extending from said plug member vertically higher than said plug member for supporting said fowl with the other of said openings at a higher elevation than said one opening during said roasting, whereby fluids added to the interior of said fowl or generated during roasting of said fowl are retained within the interior of said fowl during such roasting.
A method of roasting a disemboweled fowl that has a generally hollow interior section and openings at the head and tail ends thereof, comprising the steps of supporting said fowl in an upright position in an oven such that one of the ends is higher than the other end, plugging the lower one of said openings to prevent leakage of fluids from the interior section of the fowl, and applying heat to said fowl for a sufficient period of time to roast said fowl.
