And it's only for heat; the hot water is done with an electric heating tank.<br /><br />michael, it's not difficult. Ours was a 2.2kg (4.8lbs) leg, cooked it in a hot oven (450ºF) for 10 or 15 minutes, then at 350ºF for about 15 mins per pound or until the internal temperature hit about 50/55ºC (around 130ºF). We also put the leg on a rack inside the roasting pan with water/wine/garlic/rosemary under it to help it steam a little and to catch drippings for sauce or gravy. Cover the done lamb with foil and a towel to let it rest for 15 or 20 mins after it comes out of the oven, before slicing.<br /><br />emm, it wasn't huge, and the new one is not much smaller.<br /><br />gaynor, thanks! And it was! ;) wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-31998898855162678312015-11-27T13:24:24.538+01:002015-11-27T13:24:24.538+01:00I'm sure the dinner will be worth the wait...

Funnily enough, our boiler in France was a Brotje too and was about as big as yours! Are you connected to town gas or is it an oil boiler?
