Roasting lamb in two parts - pls help

December2012 · 2013-08-24 16:01:53

I have two joints of lamb that I'm roasting. They aren't joined up together - one is slightly bigger than the other by about 200g. So how do I work out the roasting time? Do I do it based on two individual pieces using the oven at the same time, with the larger piece for longer? Or do I cook both pieces together based on…

I have two joints of lamb that I'm roasting. They aren't joined up together - one is slightly bigger than the other by about 200g.

So how do I work out the roasting time?

Do I do it based on two individual pieces using the oven at the same time, with the larger piece for longer?

Or do I cook both pieces together based on the cumulative weight?

It's a fan assisted gas oven.

I'd put the bigger one in half an hour before the other.

So would you just time it based on the weight of the bigger portion?

Or will it take longer to cook the large part of meat because there will be something else in the oven?

I'd time it based on the weight of the bigger one. I don't think it will take longer because there are two in the oven - not unless they're tightly packed into a roasting tin together.
