    That looks like it worked out great. How did the interior pieces compare to the end? I would think that the degree of doneness would be more similar than if they were not hot tubbed.

    It was all about the same. The ones in the picture were a little more done than the rest. But so tender an moist. It was Ontario lamb as well which is very good but not marketed as well as NZ

    Mike,

    I just sent you an e-mail. Lamb is one of my favourite meats. Norma won't eat it so I don't get to cook it often and I have to cook it outside. Braised shanks on the egg with olive wood is amazing. This was the first time I have hot tubbed rack and I won't do it any other way from now on.

    Rissoto is easy man. Saute your arborio rice in butter and galic for a few minutes till it is translucent. Have a hot (not boiling) pot of stock at the ready. Deglaze the saute pan with white wine, wait til the wine is absorbed, add a couple of ladles of stock, jiggle the pan so the rice is covered, wait till that absorbs, do that a couple or three more times until the rice still has a bit of crunch to it, add a little bit of stock and your herbs and or vegetables parmesan and/or peccorino and stir. Let is sit for five minutes uncovered.

    It should be creamy not like regular rice.

    I don't really like lamb, but those photos may just change my mind. Looks fantastic. Thanks

    Thanks Mike,

    Still playing with a new camera. Not completely happy with the pics yet. Rack is the least lamby tasting of any cut. Some folks (like my wife) just dont like it though.

    Glad to hear that about the taste. I know my mom likes it, maybe I'll try some and give her the left overs if I don't.

    I did a full leg of lamb last night that didn't turn out as one of my best outings. Outside was perfect, inside a bit too rare even for me.

    My fault for not trusting my temp gauge and leaving it cook lower and slower.

    Don't worry, none of us went hungry.

    Very nice looking lamb. I love me some sheep meat but its hard to find local except around Easter.
