For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts,
select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”. Press
down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it
needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and
watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
The roast is not well-done enough. Carve the roast. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast meat in the
gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.
