Hi sorry if I am off topic or posting in the wrong place.

I have a book here which says to roast beef at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.

I bought myself a bolar blade roast which I thought I would cook up for the family for
dinner tonight.

What temp do I put the oven ? (same as for the beef ?) And would I cook it for longer ? (my mum did
say cook it for 1 1/2 hours) What are the advantages //dis advantages of using a roasting bag for
cooking the roast ?

Any adivce would be great

You need to specify C or F temperatures. A roast will not cook in 45 minutes at 250F. Weight of
roast is a factor -- directions usually mention X minutes per pound at Y temperature. Listen to your
mother. ^_^

Maybe for a 3/4" steak, but not a roast. Especially not a chuck roast.
