About My Roast Planner
A roast dinner is mostly a timing problem. This site works it out for you.
Why it exists
Getting the meat, the roast potatoes, the Yorkshire puddings, the vegetables and the gravy all ready at the same moment is the hard part of a Sunday roast. My Roast Planner takes the weight of your meat, the trimmings you want and the time you’d like to eat, then works backwards to give you a simple step-by-step schedule.
How it works
- Choose your meat and enter its weight, then pick your trimmings and sauces.
- Say what time you’d like to eat.
- Follow the plan. It shows what to prepare and when to start each dish, which oven temperature to use, and when everything will be ready.
Below the plan is a table of every time used. You can change any of them, for example if your oven runs hot, and the plan updates straight away.
Where the timings come from
The timings and temperatures are based on widely used cooking guidelines and general averages for each food. Every oven, joint and kitchen is a little different, so treat the plan as a guide. Always check that meat is cooked through and piping hot before serving, and follow any instructions on the packaging.
