- Suggested roasting times per 500g for: Eye of shortloin/backsliap, lamb round or topside mini roast, lamb rump

- Judging your roast’s degree of doneness using a meat thermomete
- The internal temperature for: Rare – 55-60ºC, Medium rare – 60-65ºC, Medium – 65-70ºC, Medium well – 70-75ºC, Well done – 75ºC
- You can also use tongs to test the roast’s doneness. Gently prod or squeeze the roast – rare is very soft, medium rare is soft, medium is springy but soft, medium well is firm and well done is very firm
