{"product_id":"alfresco-indirect-roasting-pod-aic-pod","title":"Alfresco Indirect Roasting Pod AIC-POD - Drop-In Convection Roasting Insert with Drip Pan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAlfresco Indirect Roasting Pod AIC-POD\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Indirect Roasting Pod turns your Alfresco grill into a roasting oven. It drops into the grill and holds a drip pan beneath the food, so rendered fat collects and self-bastes the roast rather than dropping onto burners and flaring. Fire the adjacent burners rather than the ones directly below, and the hood circulates convection heat around the food instead of blasting it from underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the difference between grilling a chicken and actually roasting one. Prime rib, pork shoulder, whole birds, and anything else that wants long, even, indirect heat comes out with a true slow-roast character. Combine it with Alfresco's Signature Taste smoke and herb infusion system and you can smoke-and-roast in the same session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAIC-POD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop-in indirect roasting pod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHolds a drip pan for self-basting; enables convection roasting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMethod\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFire adjacent burners to create indirect convection heat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlfresco Signature Taste smoke and herb infusion system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlug-and-play; drops in and lifts out by hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Indirect Roasting Pod work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt drops into the grill and holds a drip pan below the food. You light the burners adjacent to the pod rather than directly beneath it, which turns the closed hood into a convection roasting chamber and keeps drippings out of the flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it good for cooking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnything that benefits from long, even, indirect heat: whole chickens and turkeys, prime rib, pork shoulder, large roasts. The drip pan catches rendered fat and self-bastes as it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I smoke and roast at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Used together with Alfresco's Signature Taste smoke and herb infusion system, you can direct wood smoke into the cooking zone while roasting indirectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Alfresco grills does it fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlfresco lists the AIC-POD as an accessory across its ALXE range from 30-inch to 56-inch, and on the Intelligent Professional grills.
