Devoncook is my handle and this is my first posting. Although I am requesting advice on a particular cooking activity it is my intention to stay around the forum to listen and learn and part with some of my own recipes.
My wife and I are shortly to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and are going to have a diner party at home just for our family which totals 17 in all.
We are going to cook topside of beef and the weight of one piece will be 2.8kgs. Cooking time on the package is quoted as 2.55 hours at 200c.
(Another joint is being cooked on a rotissery )
My question is;
If I cut the piece in half and cook both pieces at the same time in the main oven(each piece then weighs 1.4kgs) does this mean that cooking time is then 1hr28 minutes?
Or will cooking time have to be aggregated to make 2.55hrs. again?
