    Ok well a size 9 chicken is 900gm (the number relates to the grams) so you're going to have to put it on longer than that, maybe 2 hours?? I'm not real sure sorry hun.

    PS glad you're back

    I've got one, it's the only way I can cook

    Preheat it to 180, drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper stick it in a tray and put it in.

    The problem with these little buggers is you can burn the top, so you will have to turn it over after about 50 mins. It will probably take about 2 hours. So get it on now.

    Do you have a normal oven?

    In a normal oven it's about an hour for every kilo (at about 180) for a roast, depending on whether you like your meat well done, medium or rare. We tend to go with medium-well, so you might want a little longer than that. Turn the meat a couple of times if your oven is making anything look black!

    If you're roasting vegies as well, potatoes need almost as long as the meat (sometimes longer if it's a smallish piece), so don't wait too long to put them in.

    We use plenty of olive oil and a marinade (if the butcher sells it with one LOL) on the meat, just oil on the vegies.

    I have no idea on the easy cooker, but I'd google it!

    Yes, chicken is at a lower temp (about 160). 180 for a fan forced oven for beef or lamb. Higher if the over is not fan forced.

    But I don't pretend to be an expert - DP is the cook in our house!

    NO suggestions with times etc but if you go to google and google the name and model of your easy cooker along with instruction manual, you might find one online.. works for me when we were given a slow cooker without one.

    ie. instruction manual, kambrook 4xxx

    I always cook mine at 200 uncovered covered (I also do a few pockets of garlic cloves and rosemary) in 1cm of oil and turn every 30 min for 90 min then wrap the meat in so foil and some juices and continue cooking at 150 for another 60 min.

    hmmmm I want a roast now yummy
