O Meat tin
Cooking a small joint in a large tin will cause fat to overheat then splutter and splash.
To cut down the amount of splashing when high temperature roasting:
• Use a meat tin having an anti-splash trivet.
• Use a smaller tin.
• Fill the spaces around the meat with the potatoes etc., to be roasted.
• Make sure all meat and vegetables are dry before being roasted.
O Aluminium Foil
Joints cooked in a tin covered with aluminium foil - adjust cooking time by adding a
further 5 to 10 mins per lb. (500g) to the times given in the cooking chart. Joints
wrapped in aluminium foil in the form of a parcel - follow manufacturers instructions
given on the packet.
OHints
The times given can only be a guide for the average joint as the shape and proportion
of bone must also betaken into consideration. If the joint is very thin a shorter cooking
time will be required.
