The preparation time as stated does not include the 1-2 hours in the fridge nor the 1 hour to get the racks up to room temperature before placing them in the oven"

Delicious! I skipped a lot of the prep time, putting the rack (I only had one rack) in the fridge for one hour, but the cooking time was perfect and a meal we enjoyed very much. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

I wanted something different for Easter instead of ham and found this in my search. We love love loved it and then loved it some more! It was well worth making and since lamb is expensive I am glad I picked out a good one! The lamb was tender and so juicy and we loved the crumb topping! If you follow the directions it will amaze you!
