For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For
larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
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.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
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.
