Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this cooking time estimator free?
- Yes, completely free with no signup and no usage limits.
- Does my data leave my device?
- No. All calculations run in JavaScript inside your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes. The tool is mobile-first and works on iPhone Safari and Android Chrome.
- How accurate are the cooking time estimates?
- Estimates are based on standard guidelines (approximately 40–55 min/kg for poultry, 30–40 min/kg for red meats) plus a 20-minute base. Oven accuracy, stuffing, and starting temperature all affect actual time — always use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness.
- What internal temperature is safe for chicken?
- Chicken is safe to eat when the thickest part (away from bone) reaches 74°C (165°F). This applies to both whole birds and pieces.
