The worst culprit in ensuring that the food at your braai is inedible.
O.K. this is actually a roasting pan, often made of aluminium, that some people say will poison you as well. This has become a popular utensil that people use to store the cooked meat in while busy braaing another batch or having another dop before eating. It is usually left at the side of the fire and sometimes even on top of the grid to keep the food warm.
What it actually does, because of the lid on it, is to steam the usually already overcooked meat while it is standing. This causes whatever juices are left in the meat to run out even more. Even if the meat was not overcooked before placing it in this diabolical utensil, by doing so, will guarantee that it will be ruined.
What I recommend for keeping the meat warm while standing is either a good old fashioned wooden board, if the weather is not cold and the standing time short, or a hot tray with an open serving plate on it.
