Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best cut of lamb for roasting?

    Lamb leg and shoulder are the most popular roasting cuts because they stay tender and develop a rich flavour as they cook. A leg roast is great for classic Sunday lunches since it slices nicely, while a shoulder roast is ideal for low and slow cooking that results in pull-apart meat. Both cuts benefit from simple seasoning and a longer cook time, allowing the fat to melt and make the meat juicy.

  • How do I stop lamb from drying out in the oven?

    Lamb dries out when cooked too hot or too fast. Slow, steady heat works best because it allows the fat to render, keeping the meat moist. For roasts, start with high heat for a short time to achieve colour, then reduce the temperature and let it cook slowly. Resting the meat for at least 15 minutes before cutting also helps lock in juices and improve tenderness. Using a meat thermometer can take the guesswork out and prevent overcooking.

  • What is the difference between lamb cutlets and lamb chops?

    Lamb cutlets come from the rib section and have a tender texture, making them perfect for quick pan frying or grilling. They are often considered a premium cut because of their tenderness. Lamb chops can come from different parts of the animal, such as the loin or forequarter, and vary in texture and flavour. They are usually more affordable than cutlets and are great for barbecues, marinating or everyday meals.

Cuts for Roasting, Grilling & Slow Cooking

Lamb is a versatile meat and the right cut can completely change the outcome of a dish. Chops and cutlets are ideal for quick grilling because they stay juicy and develop a great crust. Lamb leg and shoulder roasts suit slow, steady cooking that brings out rich, deep flavour. Shanks soften beautifully over time, and diced lamb works well in curries, stews and Mediterranean-style dishes. Choosing the right cut can make even simple recipes taste impressive. And if you enjoy cooking multiple proteins, lamb pairs perfectly with options like beef for larger gatherings or mixed platters.
