About Cooking Time Calculator
Understanding Cooking Times
The science of cooking times is rooted in food chemistry and thermal dynamics. When heat is applied to meat, complex chemical reactions occur - proteins denature, fats render, and moisture redistributes. These transformations require specific temperatures and times to achieve optimal results while ensuring food safety.
The Science Behind Cooking
Basic Formula: Cooking Time = Weight × Rate per Pound
| Meat Type | Temperature |
|---|---|
| Fish | 400°F (204°C) |
| Turkey | 325°F (163°C) |
| Most meats | 350°F (177°C) |
