Oven Cookery Notes TIMES AND TEMPERATURES FOR ROASTING The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced to a minimum.
