Preparation & Cooking Instructions

Butterball recommends thawing individual roasts in their original packaging, in a refrigerated environment, for 48 hours. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the thawed, bagged roast in a pan. Please allow 10-12 inches above the cooking rack for bag expansion, the bag will not burst. For a convection oven cook the roast approximately 2.5-3.5 hours or 16-20 minutes per pound. For a conventional oven cook the roast at 350°F approximately 3.25-4 hours or 20-24 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer and insert into the thickest part of the product to verify doneness. The roast should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the oven and let the roast stand for at least 30 minutes before carving or slicing. For best slicing results, refrigerate the roast for 8-10 hours.
