- Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is
advisable to thaw overnight.
- Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird e.g. a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
- Adjust the shelf position so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
- The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking times, as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of bone.
