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 over
night.
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.
Cook in main oven at:
160°C - 180°C (fanned)
180°C - 200°C

Notes:

When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the total
weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
4
For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated
cooking time.
4
Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg
(2½lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g
(1lb) extra cooking time.
4
Position the oven shelf so that the meat
or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
4
It is recommended that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting.
