Just tried my first heat gun roast. :
It went well. I did as was suggested somewhere and place a SS colander into another pot, ( in my case a cast iron one I had experimented with gas roasting.) This meant that the hot air was able to whoosh around under the collander as well as directly onto the beans. It was great for chaff removal- something the gas roasts just couldnt do! I deliberately kept the gun back a bit to see how it would all go and not wanting it to roast too fast. after the 1st crack ( which was very clear) I switched it down to low. 1st crack was round 11 minutes, second round 14 and I finished up at 16 and a half.
Im thinking of attaching an upturned collander with a hole in the top for the heat gun and another hole for a drill with whisk. :-/
What do ya reckon?
Has anyone tried this?
Changed the colour....... a bit hard to read (showing my age
)...... Mal.
