Barbecuing and Roasting Guide

The following chart gives a guide to how well done your meat will be, based on the internal temperature of
the meat. The internal temperature of the meat should be measured with a meat thermometer. You can
estimate when your food will be ready, but the meat thermometer confirms it for you. The thermometer
should be inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bone. Most standard meat thermom-
eters will give you an accurate reading in a matter of seconds or minutes, so it is a good idea to only use the
thermometer when you think the meat is cooked.

The following cuts, thicknesses, weights and barbecuing times are meant to be guidelines rather than hard
and fast rules. Cooking times are affected by such factors as altitude, wind, outside temperature and how
well done you like your meat. Cooking times for beef and lamb are for medium unless otherwise noted. Let
roasts and larger cuts of meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
