You’ve waited hours.
The meat looks incredible.
Everyone is hungry.
This is exactly when patience gets hardest.
Resting gives a cooked piece of meat time to settle before slicing, which can make the final result noticeably better.
The right rest depends on what you’ve cooked, so don’t blindly apply one rule to everything - but do build resting time into your plan instead of treating it as an annoying delay. A good trick is to work backwards from when you want to eat and allow a buffer.
Outdoor cooking is much more relaxing when dinner isn’t balanced on one exact minute.
