4. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

All ovens are different and none of them are precise when it comes to temperatures and that changes cooking times. The cut of meat, the quality such as marbeling, membranes, bones, aged, and fat layer will also affect cooking times. The cooking method, roasted, stewed, boiled or braised all will change your cooking time.

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, but not near any bone. Check the temperature according to your personal tastes for either rare, medium or well done.

When your meat is done let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. Cover the roast with a sheet of foil and lay a towel over it. This gives the meat fibers times to absorb all the juices which will make the meat more flavorful and rich with juices.
