>>9112770i can't speak for the whole country but to me it feels like a waste and also disrespectful to the meat. it makes me sick seeing someone serve an amazing roast pork knuckle alongside some sauerkraut fresh from the barrel or a boiled or baked potato with some salt sprinkled on it. it's like it invalidates the meat. why wouldn't you cook those two together and let them influence each others' flavors? it feels less like a complete dish and more like something you put together like a child. but at the same time also like making the effort to bake your own crackers and serving them with cheez whiz or something.
i don't even know if there's anything to this, i'm just telling you how i instinctually feel.
well we cover the pan with tin foil or the pot with its lid (we bake in clay pots sometimes) for about 80% of the cooking time and then we uncover it so it can crisp up. i don't know if that's what you mean by steaming.
