Answers:
Hiya ! The general 'rule of thumb' for cooking meat - is 20 minutes per pound!. - However, different cooking methods produce different results!.
Apparently, steaming takes less time than roasting!. Best thing to do - is check it after say ten minutes!. Stick a knife into the flesh - then withdraw it and gently press the blade against the flesh near the incision!. If the juices run clear, it's cooked - if not, put it back in for another five minutes - and keep checking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
