Just stopped by to see what you were up to! Great fun!

BTW, I think the symbol after the 15 is shorthand. I've forgotten all I've ever known but remember just enough to recognize that's what it is. :) However, I think you could probably find out by Googling it!

Love your recipe site! Thanks!

I like this one, with the little dab of sample on it!

Well I am fairly certain it means 15 minutes per pound after you preheat the oven to 20 degrees. But at 200f it would need a lot more time, so probably they were meaning 200c, which is just under 400f (392f if you want to be specific).

By the way, I love this site! Thanks for putting it up here.

I suspect that "Elect skillet" at the beginning means electric skillet, so the 200 might just be fahrenheit. If the skillet is covered at that temp, you would get a braise effect.

And yes, probably 15 minutes per pound.
