You can go pretty rare with lamb, this is a touch over for me but looks great! Great job

Counting from the left:
1. Great, would be perfect with better sear. 2. Acceptable, undercooked for my tastes but I’d trust the chef. 3. Undercooked by any standard and I would *not* trust the chef. 4. Looks the same as number 1 by my eye, but I’d expect the same doneness as I see on number three.
All my opinions, I don’t cook lamb for myself and am picky where I have it.

How long did you rest this for? Seems a little bit under rested by my eye
luker_5874
Undercooked for me. If you hold it up, it should keep its form, not droop
thingbob
Looks perfect. Pass the mint jelly, or in the absence of that, the horseradish
jkush463
Still raw partly, no thanks.

Looks great to me. Anyone saying you need to cook it more eats steak with ketchup
what_mustache
A little more sear but otherwise perfect.
ODaysForDays
I’d eat it, but imo it’s just a bit undercooked. Like just a few degrees in the interior.
AncientAussie
That’s really a case of personal preference, rare – medium – well done, are choices for that exact reason.
DrFeelOnlyAdequate
Lamb rack is best when medium rare or rare. This looks pretty spot on.
Good-Ad-9978
Perfect for me..
Weird_Ad7998
Good job and keep cooking lamb

For me…. just a hair longer. but regardless, your timeline is perfect. ✔️✔️✔️
kb24TBE8
Just a tad imo
Jyps1
Rare , I would have gone with mid rare
OppositeSolution642
To me, yes. Others might like it that rare
Canoearoo
I’d like more of a sear, but I’d hammer that anyway.

Little bit

It’s pretty rare. I love it like that.

Two of them are riding the fence between rare and blue but some people like em like that

Just a little under. Medium rare is perfect for lamb.
By the way the way you cleaned up the lamb is perfect. The “mutton” flavor is in the fat. Once you trim it lamb is AWESOME!!
DenningBear82
Personally, I like my lamb fully pink with no red, so medium rare edging to medium.
This looks great though.
JustinSLoos1985
Yes undercooked

Couple points here…
Get a good instant read thermometer, I like a thermapen from thermoworls.
Doneness is a function of temperature not necessarily appearance.
Next, that’s not raw, and doesn’t appear crazy rare, just regular rare.
So it appears to be cooked at a safe level (again get a thermometer), so the question becomes is it underdone for you?
I like my steak rare or medium rare depending on the cut. I like my lamb medium rare to medium.
While that looks more rare than I generally would cook or order a rack of lamb, if you served that to me I’d happily eat it
LegendarySnakeHips
Depends on who’s eating it. I’d want it done a tad more.

Maybe just a hair, but I bet it’s fine
Gashcat
I would prefer it a little more done… and i wouldn’t want it at all any less done. Youre riding that line perfectly.

Rack of Lamb is typically served rare to medium rare. This is on the rare side, but it’s personal preference. I like my lamb chops bloody rare, just like Hannibal Lector.
BustyCelebLover
Tad underdone for me but the cut is really nice!
gcawad
that’s a personal preference question
femsci-nerd
Looks perfect to me
SpikeLeroy78
I would like to see more crust and a few more degrees in the middle personally. Similar to Prime Rib in look.
Outside-Poetry6908
Google + meat 🥩 thermometer 🌡️ will do the trick.
Blacjack702
I would say at skooch longer and it’s perfect. But I would still eat that.

Yes, ideal temp for Lamb is about 140F. Lamb chops can also handle well done cooks if they are properly marinated and flattened. Middle Eastern and Indian/Pakistani grilling styles usually fully cook lamb to doneness.

Needs mint jelly.
vcursedxan
personally, I like my lamb medium but ur the one who’s eating it so cook it to whatever temp u like
rizorith
I think so but it’s preference. I’m more of a medium rare for steak but actually like medium more for lamb.

If you have any meat cooking sub telling you “yeah, kinda” when you ask this kind of question, you need to understand that w/e you cooked is probably gnarly as fuck to eat unless you like the texture of uncooked meat and fat.
maleye812
That looks like perfect lamb to me!
Infamous-Zombie5172
If you like it closer to raw that’s fine. But for guests I’d go a little longer so it’s pink instead of red. If they like it well done, then too bad. I’m not friends with people who eat their meat well done 😅
Nero3k
For lamb that looks great.
Get_off_my_lawn_77_1
Slightly rare for my preference (I like mine medium rare with slight lean to medium side). Not sure how you cooked them, I do my racks on pellet smoker at 350 for exactly 30 minutes, they come out perfect every time.
OrangeJuliusCaesr
French rack of lamb doesn’t get dry , I’ve offset it for 45 minutes and it’s cooked all the way and juicy
