The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight
adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat.
However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger
joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 30 - 60 min. cooking time.
