Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting (please follow the manu-
facturer's instructions).

•
For all lean meats, we recommend
roasting these in a roasting tin or dish with a

Notes on the roasting chart
The information given in the following chart is for guidance only.
•
We recommend using the oven to roast meat and fish
only in quantities above 1kg
.
•
To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, we recommend
placing some liquid in the roasting cookware.
•
If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
•
Baste large roasts and poultry with basting stock a number of times during the cook-
ing time. This will give you a better result.
•
You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, in
order to utilise the residual heat.
