The Betutu Method: Low, Slow, and Sealed

Why this technique matters

Understand betutu as a sealed slow-cook system — traditional pit logic translated to home ovens.

Step-by-step

1. Pack paste thoroughly into protein.
2. Wrap to trap moisture and perfume.
3. Cook at low temperature for extended time.
4. Rest before opening to keep juices.
5. Optional high-heat finish for aroma.

Mistakes to avoid

• High heat from the start
• Insufficient paste
• Unsealed wraps drying the meat
