    Using a roaster oven to cook
    How long do you believe I would cook a 11.95 lb sirloin roast in a roaster oven.

    Rule of thumb is usually 20 min. Per lb. at about 300 degrees, and use a meat thermometer if you want to judge preference in how rare the meat is done in the centre.

    I can't believe both you and I got negative determinations on this. My post re roasting temp and time was given as an approach I have been using for something like forty years and is tried, tested and true advice.

    However it does make my profile look a lot like Christmas with all the green and red!

    I get dinged all the time, Just had our roast for lunch today, along with the ham. Cooked it about 5 hours, it was falling apart, had onions and whole potatoes in with it.

    Let me see also had green beans, corn, dressing, mashed potatoes, lima beans, corn bread. For desert brownies (two types), peach pie, sweet potato pie, and apple pie.
