Other Facts About Lamb

Lamb comes from a young animal and practically all cuts may be cooked by roasting, broiling or panbroiling. These cuts may be served medium or well done. Lamb neck, shanks and breasts should be braised or cooked in liquid until well done. The “fell” or paper-like covering, should not be removed from the leg of lamb because the leg, with “fell” on, will roast in less time, hold its shape better and be juicier; the “fell” is removed from chops and steaks. Lamb, at its best, should be served hot or cold ... never lukewarm. Frozen lamb cuts may be stored at 0° F. or lower, 6 to 9 months.
