Tips

• Bring roast to room temperature one hour prior to cooking.
• Preheat oven a half hour before putting the roast into the oven.
• Use the time chart as a general guide. Check the roast before the minimum time recommendation because each oven is different, and times will vary.
• We recommend you use either a meat thermometer, which stays in the roast as it cooks, or an instant thermometer, which does not stay in the oven.
• The thermometer must be placed in the center of the roast, and must not touch a bone.
• Take the roast out when the thermometer reaches 5° less than the desired temperature, because the roast will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven.
• Once you’ve removed the roast from the oven, let it stand 20-30 minutes before carving and serving.
• Roast all meat uncovered, on a rack, without water.
