There are so many different cooking methods. I am thinking of doing the Kafka for 500 for maybe an hour. Do you think this will work? This rec...

The only thing I roast hot is beef tenderloin. Everything else, low and slow...

Pierino is not a fan of anything Kafkaesque. Including roasting meats.

Nancy: I have to say I am not a fan of that method, and don't recommend it. In fact, that book got used as a stand for my first Apple computer!

Dear Chef June,

Thanks so much for your response. Kafka is Barbara Kafka whose book on roasting everything at 500 degrees is something that I try to follow.
Thanks,
Nancy

How many persons a 5-pound bone-in leg will serve definitely depends upon what else you are serving, and how much your guests usually eat. With what you have listed above, you should serve 12 comfortably. I always prefer to underestimate in the "serves how many" department. Leftover lamb makes great sandwiches!

130 Degrees F. has always worked for me for medium rare. I use a digital probe thermometer and don't worry about time. I just set it for the temperature. It works every time.

I have no idea what a "Kafka" is, so don't know how or if it will work.

Hope this helps! ;)

If you are referring to internal temperature, I would say the answer is in the middle at 130F. It's going to need to rest covered after you take the lamb out. Cooking a meat that has a bone I try to calculate 1/2 pound per person. You may still have leftovers but hopefully you won't run out
