Cooking Time Calculator
Check cooking times by ingredient.
조리 정보
Overview
The Cooking Time Calculator provides optimal cooking times and temperatures based on ingredient type, weight, and cooking method. Covering oven roasting, boiling, steaming, grilling, and air frying, it includes internal temperature guidelines for meat to ensure both food safety and perfect doneness.
Formula
Cooking time is calculated from weight and method. Oven roasting examples: Beef ~20-25 min per 500g (medium), Chicken ~25-30 min per 500g. Internal temperature targets: Beef medium 145F (63C), Chicken well-done 165F (74C), Pork 160F (71C).
How to Use
- 1Select the ingredient type (beef, chicken, pork, fish, etc.).
- 2Enter the weight (grams or kg).
- 3Choose the cooking method (oven, boil, steam, grill, etc.).
- 4Select desired doneness (rare, medium, well-done) to see time and temperature.
Tips
- ✔Let meat rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before cooking for even results.
- ✔After removing from the oven, rest meat for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
- ✔For air fryers, reduce temperature by 10-20C (25F) and time by 20% compared to conventional ovens.
- ✔Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness — visual cues can be unreliable.
FAQ
Q. How do I check internal meat temperature?
Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone. For accuracy, check temperature in multiple spots. Pull meat 5 degrees below target temperature, as carryover cooking will raise it during resting.
Q. Can I cook frozen meat without thawing?
Yes, but add about 50% more cooking time. This works well for oven and air fryer cooking. Avoid cooking frozen meat in a pan, as the exterior may burn before the interior cooks through. For food safety, ensure the internal temperature reaches the proper target.
Q. Does altitude affect cooking time?
Yes. At higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures, so boiled and steamed foods take longer. Above 3,000 feet (1,000m), increase cooking time by 5-10% for boiling and adjust baking temperatures up by about 15-25F.
