Practical tips for grilling and roasting

No information is provided in the guidance
table for the weight of the meat to be roasted.
How can I check that the meat is ready?
The meat looks too dark and the outside is
burned in several places.
The meat looks fine, but the juices have
burned.
The meat looks fine, but the juices have not
browned and look watery.
Condensation is produced when making gravy
using the roasting juices.
Gratins, soufflés, browned items
The cooking times in the table below have been calculated for
an oven without any preheating.
Food
Sweet soufflés (e.g. cheese soufflé
with fruit)
Savoury foods for browning
containing cooked ingredients
(for example, pasta with a browned
topping)
Savoury foods for browning which
contain raw ingredients*

Programme the nearest weight below the weight of your joint and increase the
cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or use the "spoon test".
Press down on the meat using a spoon. If the meat feels firm when pressed, it is
ready; if not, it must be cooked for more time in the oven.
Check that you have selected the correct height and temperature.
Next time, use a smaller dish or add more liquid.
Next time, use a larger dish or add less liquid.
A lot of this moisture evaporates via the condensation outlet, and droplets of
condensation may form on the colder control panel or on the fronts of nearby
kitchen units. This is an unavoidable phenomenon.
