Roasting inside oven (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oast

'oven' is the definition.
(oast is a kind of oven)

'roasting inside' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates a hidden word.
'OAST' can be found hidden inside 'roasting'.

(Other definitions for oast that I've seen before include "Hop-drier" , "Hop drying kiln" , "Kiln for drying hops or malt" , "Oven for hops" , "Where to cook" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
