— Boneless leg of lamb cooking time —
total_min = min_per_500g × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
range = [lo_per_500g … hi_per_500g] × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
conventional_oven = fan_temp + 10–20°C (same time)
fahrenheit = derived table from °C
— algorithm —
lookup(meat, cut, doneness) → point_estimate → guidance_range
→ internal_target_temp → verify_with_thermometer()

Public roasting guidance applied deterministically — this is not a food-safety authority. Always cook to the stated internal temperature, measured with a meat thermometer.
