The pheasant was prepared for roasting using the receipt (recipe) To roast Pheasants but the roasting was accomplished with the use of the clock jack spit pictured. This roasting device has a governor, gears, pulleys and weights. Every five minutes, the weight on the opposite site of the hearth would reach the brick floor and I would need to wind it back up to maintain the turning of the spit.

The first three steps of the receipt (recipe) To roast Pheasants-pick and draw your pheasants and singe them – I was not able to do without a source of a live pheasant to chose, clean, pluck and singe. And thus I used just one purchased pheasant so the 18th century presentation to table with head and feet on will not be in this series of posts. The receipt also refers to them, as more than one pheasant would be roasted on the spit. Pictured are the fourth and fifth step to lard with bacon and spit. I secured the pheasant on the spit and used one of my small larding needles to secure small strips of bacon fat under the skin.
