AGA COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Normal Fast Roasting in Roasting Oven
Roast Beef
These times give a medium result in the roasting oven - approx 15 minutes per lb (450g). If you like it well done, add 5 minutes per lb (450g).
Slow Roasting
The times for the slow roasting method are as follows:
Cook in Roasting Oven for about 30 minutes, or until beginning to brown, then transfer to the Simmering Oven for double the remaining cooking time.
