1820 Appliances Cooking Joints Meat Roasting Spit Turns Turnspit Game Birds Spits
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1800s and witness the art of roasting meat and gamebirds on a spit. This image from Mary Evans Prints Online showcases a turnspit diligently tending to the spit, ensuring that the joints of meat and gamebirds are evenly cooked over an open fire. The turnspit, a historical appliance that dates back to ancient Rome, was a common sight in English kitchens during the 18th and 19th centuries. The scene is set in a rustic, well-appointed kitchen, where the aroma of roasting meat fills the air, mingling with the warmth of the hearth. A wooden table laden with various dishes and a steaming jug of drink sits nearby, suggesting a festive gathering or a hearty meal. The turnspit, dressed in traditional attire, deftly turns the spit with a long handle, keeping the meat sizzling and succulent. The spit, a long metal rod with the meat skewered on it, is suspended over the fire, allowing the heat to circulate evenly around the joints. The gamebirds, plump and golden brown, are displayed proudly on the spit, their crispy skin glistening with a rich, savory glaze. The joints of meat, tender and juicy, are also roasting to perfection, releasing tantalizing aromas that would have made any 19th-century dinner guest's mouth water. This evocative print not only offers a glimpse into the culinary practices of the past but also highlights the importance of community and the simple pleasures of a well-prepared meal. The turnspit's dedication to his task, the warmth of the kitchen, and the tantalizing aromas all come together to create a moment frozen in time, inviting us to savor the rich history of roasting meat on a spit.
