Roasting

Roasting duration ￿

The traditional British method for calculating the roasting time is to allow 15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes, according to type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes, adjusting the length of time as roasting proceeds to obtain the required result. The roasting time can also be determined by multiplying the thickness of the roast [cm] with the time per cm [min/cm], depending on the type of meat:

Beef/venison: . . . . . . . . . 15–18 min/cm

Pork/veal/lamb: . . . . . . . . 12–15 min/cm

Sirloin/fillet: . . . . . . . . . . . . 8–10 min/cm

Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest duration quoted.

Shelf levels ￿

As a general rule, use shelf level 1.

Tips

Browning

Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. Remove the lid about halfway through the roasting time if a more intensive browning result is desired.

Standing time

At the end of the programme, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about

10 minutes. This helps retain juices when the meat is carved.

Roasting poultry

For a crisp finish, baste the poultry 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time with slightly salted water.
