筆記

If you have a slightly larger leg of lamb:

1.5-1.75kg, cook for an extra 30 minutes covered (4 1/2 hours covered instead of 4),

1.75-2kg, cook for an extra hour covered (5 hours covered instead of 4)

2-2.5kg, an extra 90 minutes (5 1/2 hours covered instead of 4) covered before taking the foil off.
