Your Astro oven is equipped to handle a variety of roasts - from a succulent leg of lamb to the trimmed Christmas turkey (refer to Cooking Options on pages 6 & 7).

Tips for successful roasting

A large piece of meat requires fewer minutes per 500g/1lb than a smaller piece. Roasting times will be affected by the shape and size of the meat being roasted. Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a rolled roast.

Don’t add water to your roast, as this has a steaming effect. For perfect results, use a meat probe or meat thermometer.

The internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise during standing, so allow for this in your calculations (this is particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast).

It’s a good idea to let all roast meats stand for 10-15 minutes before carving - the juices will be less likely to run out when you carve.

Warning: Do not place aluminum foil or dishes with reflective qualities on the oven bottom as this will cause a heat build up which will result in irreversible damage to the enamel.
