East Kilbride Rotary Club
"Roastcosy" has been revealed to East Kilbride Rotary Club members when their invited speaker Helen Waterstone who hails from Lanarkshire came along as the clubs guest. Helen was in a relaxed mode and accompanied by her husband Eric who himself is a Rotarian at Bothwell Rotary Club.
Helen who is the sole inventor of this new product known as the Roastcosy took time to explain how she progressed with getting funding to get the product on the market and especially how she had been invited to participate in the TV programme Dragon's Den. The whole concept of her product is to significantly reduce the use of aluminium foil when roasting as it allows the turkey, hen, meat to rest without losing heat and that gives excellent results for crisping and browning. Rotarians present were immensely impressed by the talk and were more than delighted when Helen expressed her deep desire that the product be manufactured preferably Lanarkshire if not Scotland. Past President Jim Moretti gave the vote of thanks on behalf of the members.
