RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 to 325°F (107 to 163°C) for beef, lamb, poultry and ham; 325°F (163°C) for fresh pork as recommended by USDA and American Meat Institute. A pan, approximately 12 x 20 x 1" (305 x 508 x 25 mm) full of water, may be placed in the oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. Water should be added if necessary during roasting. 1 Roasting pans should be no deeper than necessary
