I am not used to fan assisted cooking.

However, anybody tell me how to cook leg of lamb - 1.214kg - slow cooking.

Thanks.

100 centigrade for about 7 hours should do it

[jennyjoan]

sorry quizzie - 100 centigrade - would that be fan assisted.

[jennyjoan]

Yes fan assisted. Usually I knock about 20 degrees of the given temperature and I get great results from my fan oven.
SharonA 100 degrees with a fan oven is just about 120 degrees in a standard oven, That's only just above boiling temperature. 7 hours is about right.

Ahhh sorry Jennyjoan, about 3 hours then. Oops!

3-4 Hours @ 100c Fan for a joint that size, I'd seal it off first or the fat will be too greasy.

thanks Tony - looked briefly at your link but when I saw pink - no I don't do pink - however, do understand some people need their meat rare - sista and myself sorta like well done.

The lamb I bought looks lovely and I don't want to overcook it.

To be honest I just pot roast all my joints. You know brown for ages then add veggies and a little boiling water - tight fitting lid - and away it goes - but it has been ages since I done lamb.

Yeah that is more like it. I normally do my little half legs for about 2 hours.

Simple recipe here just cut the time down.

Sorry jj, I didn't see the Pink bit in that link ( just the fan assisted bit ), can't be eating raw meat.

Just tell your fans to go home, that you can cook a leg of lamb by yourself.

[jennyjoan]

well - cooked lamb at 150 fan assisted for 4 hours - beautifully tender but somehow much prefer lamb chops - won't be buying leg again. Thank God I have also done silverside too for tomorrow.
