for
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to
firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal
temperature will rise about 5° to 10“F.;
to
compensate
for
temperature increase, if desired, remove roast
from oven sooner (at 5° to 10”F. less than
temperature in the guide).

the Baking section of this book, to turn oven on and
