Hats off to Gordon. I used his recommended cooking time suggestions for the turkey on xmas day and also for a rib of beef tonight and both were perfect.


Most other recommendations have much longer cooking times per kilo.


Really hate overcooked meat, so hats off to Gordon. Top man, he made my Christmas.

Erm...



Ever thought of using the no-brainer-digital-meat-thermometer-method-like-wot-chefs-do ?


NETTE:-S

I do rest - honest.


This is more to do with setting the oven at the right temperature and for the right duration to 1) allow you to plan when you are going to eat and 2) not overcook the meat.


Chefs recommendations are very different and imo Gordon has it right.

Cooking times are fine per se .


If you need a guide as how to get everything out at the same time, then on good Ol' Gordon.


However, the surest way to guarantee a perfect joint of Beef, Lamb or other is to understand the internal temperature that the meat is required to achieve. No matter which type of oven is used.


Of course a good hot browning is required first, in the oven or in a roasting/frying pan on the hob.


Rare Beef is good at an internal temperature of 50 degrees C


Medium = 60 degrees C


Well done= 70 degrees C


On average a joint takes 20mins per 500g in a hot oven, so you can figure it out roughly by the weight of your joint.


You can then Digital Temperature probe it to get it absolutely spot on.


It works every time, no matter how big or small the joint.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
