  • Here are general rules of thumb for cooking in case you need to adjust by weight:
    • Cook under the broiler for 5 minutes per side regardless of the weight.
      • To finish the lamb at 325’:
        • cook 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare
        • 25 minutes per pound for medium
        • 30 minutes per pound for well done.
