LOL! My dad believed in about an hour on each side.
My mom could cook a 17 pound pot roast down such that it would fit in a thimble.
A turkey looked like a Cornish Game Hen!
Heh, what is it with “older” people and things being overcooked? My mom STILL cooks her roasts and hams to the crispy stage. And my grandparents? I couldn’t saw through their hamburgers. My dad at least has wised up and now always orders medium rare.
