ROASTING GUIDE 15

Roasting Suggestions A large piece of meat requires fewer minutes per

& Chart500g 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.

Always use a roasting dish without a cover and do not add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect.

Use a meat thermometer or meat probe to ensure an accurate result. As the internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise during standing, please allow for this in your calculation. This is particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast.

These temperature and times are a guide only and you may need to increase or decrease these depending on your preferences.
