Quick lamb roast help please

Happy Easter everybody :j

I have just put a whole leg of lamb into the oven without checking the weight. I don't want to go reaching into the bin for the bloody (leaky red kind) packaging to check the weight and am not sure how long I should be roasting this thing for!

It is quite a large leg and was at room temp when it went in about 15 minutes ago.

How long should I cook it for please, and what temps do you usually roast lamb on? (Mine is in at 165c).

Many thanks for any advice :)

  • 190c 30 minutes per 500 grammes plus 30 minutes. Afraid you are going to have to brave the bin to find the weight.

    I googled what the average weight of a leg of lamb was and went from there :)

    I put our leg of lamb in the oven @ 1.30pm. cooked it for x3 hours on 200C.
    Just been eating the roast with a glass of red wine.
    Cold lamb tomorrow.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)
