What does ROAST mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cook food, especially meat, using intense dry heat inside an oven or above an open flame until it browns.
Roasting differs from boiling or steaming because it uses direct, dry heat, which browns the surface of the food and concentrates its flavour. A whole chicken, a joint of beef, or a tray of vegetables can all be roasted, usually in an oven, though meat was traditionally roasted on a spit over an open fire. Coffee beans are also roasted before brewing, a separate process that develops their characteristic taste and colour. Informally, to roast someone means to criticise or mock them sharply, often in a good-natured way at a celebratory event.
How ROAST is used
Very common in everyday speech about cooking, coffee preparation, and informally about teasing someone.
- She decided to roast a chicken for Sunday dinner.
- They roasted vegetables with olive oil and herbs.
- The beans are roasted before they are ground into coffee.
- His friends roasted him playfully at the retirement party.
- The smell of roasting meat filled the kitchen.
