Tips:

Suggested roasting times for Rack of lamb, four rib roast, crown roast: Cook at 200ºC. Rare 20-25 min total regardless of weight, Medium 30-35 min total regardless of weight, Well done 40-45 min total regardless of weight.

Tip: Roasts need to rest for about 10 to 20 minutes before carving.

This gives the juices in the meat a chance to redistribute, giving a moister and more tender result
