Cooking time and temperatures for various meat types.
Times are given for conventional gas and electric ovens. For fan assisted ovens use a setting of 20° Celsius (36° Farenheit) less than the shown. Cooking times can be reduced by 10 minutes for every hour of cooking time.
We also have a dynamic meat cooking time calculator here.
| Meat | Result | Cooking time per kg (pound) | Oven temperature |
| Chicken | Safely cooked | 45 to 55 mins. per kg (20 to 25 mins. per lb) plus 20 mins. |
200°C 400°F Gas Mark 5 |
| Beef | Rare | 45 mins per kg (20 mins per lb) plus 20 mins. |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
| Beef | Medium | 55 mins per kg (25 mins per lb) plus 20 mins |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
| Beef | Well done | 65 mins per kg (30 mins per lb) plus 20 mins |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
| Pork | Properly cooked | First 30 minutes at 220°C (425°F Gas mark 7) Reduce heat to 180°C (400°F Gas Mark 4) then cook for 77 mins per kg (35 mins per lb) | |
| Lamb | Medium/rare | 45 mins per kg (20 mins per lb) plus 20 mins |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
| Lamb | Medium | 55 mins per kg (25 mins per lb) plus 25 mins |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
| Lamb | Well done | 65 mins per kg (30 mins per lb) plus 30 mins |
180°C 400°F Gas Mark 4 |
For best results rest meat before carving. Cover loosely with tin-foil and leave to rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes.
