– Meat which has been stored at a
very low temperature will need a lon-
ger roasting time than that given in
the chart.
– If the overall cooking time is quite
long and if vegetables, such as on-
ions, tomatoes, carrots etc. are to be
added to the roast, we recommend
that you do not add these until more
than half-way through the cooking
time. Otherwise they can become too
dark and give the gravy a bitter taste.
– If a recipe calls for broth, stock or
water to be added (e.g. half-way
through cooking time), this should al-
ways be heated first before adding to
the roast.
– Allow a standing time of approx. 10
minutes after the end of cooking so
that the meat juices are evenly dis-
tributed.
Tips on saving energy
– It is not necessary to pre-heat the
oven before roasting.
– More than one piece of meat can be
roasted side by side.
– Switch the oven off approx. 5 min-
utes before the end of cooking time
and leave the roast to stand for 5-10
minutes in the closed oven to make
use of the residual heat.
