Rack of Lamb, What Is It?
A rack of lamb is a slash of lamb meat from the back of a lamb. It’s commonly roasted, but it can be prepared in several ways. Racks are commonly served as an Italian-styled dinner entree. The rack is a succulent, tender cut of meat that is sure to please.
Can I Trim The Rack Of Lamb To Make It Fit In The Air Fryer?
Yes, of course, you should. To make the rack of lamb fit, you may need to cut it. Like, I had to take away the end cut off the rack of lamb to put the entire roast in my air fryer.
So, whether you have to trim the rack of lamb or you can fit it entirely in your air fryer depends on your air fryer size. Do remember to keep the space around the lamb in your air fryer basket to let hot air circulate easily.
How To When Rack Of Lamb Is Done?
Using a good quality meat thermometer to cook the rack of lamb eliminates all guessing. To check for doneness, put a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. If it’s rare, it should be 125°F, and if it’s medium-rare, it should be 135°F. Remember that the temperature will keep rising after removing it from the oven to cool.
After-Cooking Pro Tip:
Allowing lamb to rest after cooking lets the juices mend in the center, ensuring that everyone gets a juicy and tender piece of the rack of lamb.
