USING THE OVENS

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking.

For large

joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking.

The time

required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.

Notes:

When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.

For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.

Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2

1

2

lb) may require 5

minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.

Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.

It is recommended that the oven is
cleaned after open roasting.
