The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Cooper's Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
