Basting your roast is a great technique to keep your meat nice and moist, and of course, it adds even more incredible flavour. We’ve even been told that a slightly overcooked roast turns out moist if you’ve been religious with your basting!

Spitmaster Terry McEvoy recommends this simple basting sauce recipe (recommended for beef or lamb)…

• ½ cup beer
• ½ cup cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 good slugs of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• Cayenne pepper
• Celery salt

Simply mix all ingredients and brush on your roast every 20 minutes or so.
