• 8 note: one reviewer noted that her roast was almost overdone. i contend that all ovens are different and the safest way to cook any meat is using a meat thermometer. if you cook the roast to an internal temperature of 165 deg. f. and let it rest for about 5 minutes, it will be done perfectly and still plenty juicy. thanks to the reviewer that pointed that out. dried out meat can ruin the rest of the meal.
