Roasting marshmallows is easy and fun, but it’s important to choose the right stick and pierce the marshmallow in the center. Roast one marshmallow per stick and rotate it slowly for even browning. Using twigs adds flavor, and roasted marshmallows are a great way to bond with others.
Roasting marshmallows is great fun on camping trips, in front of the fireplace, or by a fire in the back yard. In order to get the most out of marshmallow roasting, it’s a good idea to master the basics of the activity. Fortunately, the process for roasting marshmallows is simple and easy to accomplish, making it possible to produce tasty, golden brown, edible marshmallows.
To roast marshmallows properly, it’s important to choose the right type of stick. If you have roasted marshmallows at home, you can use meat skewers from the kitchen. These metal skewers are hygienic and usually long enough for you to hold the marshmallows over the heat without burning yourself.
However, there’s a lot to be said for using properly trimmed sprigs as marshmallow roasting sticks. The twigs should be relatively straight and perfectly dry. Rinsing with warm water helps minimize the potential for germs. Twigs often work well if the plan is to roast marshmallows over an open fire at a campsite, as you can secure just enough twigs to keep a safe distance from the fire. Many people prefer using twigs over skewers because they believe that using the natural wood adds another layer of flavor to roasted marshmallows.
The placement of the marshmallow on the stick is very important. Always make sure the marshmallow is pierced in the center rather than one side. This will minimize the opportunity for the marshmallow to melt and fall into the flames. It is also not necessary to pierce the marshmallow completely. As long as the marshmallow is secure on the end of the stick, the placement will be fine.
While some people like to roast several marshmallows at a time, it’s a good idea to only roast marshmallows at the rate of one per stick. This makes it easier to maintain the perfect distance from the flame and roast the body of the marshmallow evenly. Since it takes thirty to forty seconds to roast marshmallows, this shouldn’t create any real discomfort.
To get the perfect golden brown hue you need to hold the stick at the correct height and rotate it slowly so that each side of the marshmallow is evenly exposed to the heat of the flames. Gradually, the color will change from white to golden brown. Once you get the right color, remove the stick from the heat and gently remove the roasted marshmallow. Set it aside and let it cool for at least twenty seconds before consuming.
Roasted marshmallows are a simple yet fun treat. For very little cost, the activity offers a chance for people to talk and enjoy each other’s company while roasting marshmallows over an open fire.
