Roasting times for Lamb

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 3 to 5lb Joint 1½ to 2 hours 5 to 7 lb Joint 2 to 2½ hours 7 to 10lb Joint 2½ to 3 hours Lamb can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices. Cooking by time is very unreliable. Buy yourself a meat thermometer and cook your lamb to an internal temperature of 160o F. Far greater reliability for all high-heat methods.
