Pig can be barbecued in the oven or over an open fire. Barbecuing pig over the fire requires more preparation, the pig must be well secured to the spit and it must be rotated either manually or by the electric motor. Roasted pig is always the center of attention at any show or gathering. And after it has been roasted for around 8 hours, it will be consumed within 2 hours by those patiently waiting hungry people.

The following images depict the process of roasting a pig. The animal is pumped with the solution of water, salt and sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrite is optional, its use depends on whether you want the meat to be pink or gray.
