Looking for the perfect medium temperature for lamb? If you’re a professional chef, chances are you’ve perfected the "finger” test and don’t need to worry about a thermometer.
But when you’re using premium 100% grass-fed Pasture Fresh® lamb, you want to make sure you get it dead right. We’ve got you covered.
Use the below chart to cook your lamb to the perfect doneness.

Remember:
Take the lamb off the heat before it reaches your target temperature. It will continue to cook 5-10°F after you remove it from the heat.
Let it rest: 5 minutes for cutlets, 15 minutes for roasts.
