INSPIRATION
Lemon and garlic leg of lamb is a quick and tasty roast. Peel and slice cloves of garlic. Make knife holes
in the meat to push the clove pieces into and drizzle with lemon juice. For best results, prepare in the
morning and leave to marinate in the fridge. Roast the lamb on Fan Grill at 180°C for 90 minutes.

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.
