The general rule for lamb is, for every kilogram of weight, cook for an hour at 190 - 200 degrees Celsius, depending on the efficiency of your oven, or 180 degrees for a fan-forced oven. Thus, a 2kg leg of lamb will take two hours. It is advisable to use a meat thermometer to check at about half an hour before the expected time of finishing.
No, it is not safe to leave cooked lamb at room temperature for an extended time. Bacteria can multiply rapidly when food is left out between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C), a range known as the "danger zone." To ensure food safety, cooked lamb should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking. If left out for more than two hours, it should be discarded to prevent foodborne illness.
