Calculating the roasting time
The traditional British method is to allow
15 to 20 minutes to the lb, according to
type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes,
adjusting length of time as roasting pro-
ceeds, to obtain the required result.
Temperature
See the
Roasting chart
for suggested
temperatures
.
Do not select a higher temperature
than that advised. The meat will
become brown, but will not be cooked
properly inside.
Do not roast deep frozen meat.
Meat should be thoroughly de-
frosted before roasting.
After the roasting process is finished
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.
The cooling fan will continue for a while
after switching off the oven.
