Thanks for all your replies. I had to get it started before I got a chance to read all the replies, but I did find something on a website... basically just to rub in lots and lots of salt, then start in a very hot (245 degrees) oven for the first 20 mins, then turn down to 190 degrees for the rest of the cooking time. This one said not to use any oil . I guess I'll just have to wait and see, but it smells gooooooood (which is saying something in my pregnant everything-smells-and-tastes-gross state!)
