Meal planner
Work backwards from serving time.
Choose a main, add the sides, and build a calm schedule for roasting, resting, final checks and serving.
Before the day
Do these before the timer starts.
The planner works best when the food is ready to cook and the kit is ready to use.
Confirm the meat weight before building the day plan.
Defrost poultry and large joints fully in the fridge before cooking day.
Check that your thermometer works and that you have enough oven trays.
Plan fridge space for leftovers before the meal starts.
