Difference between revisions of "Talk:Meat cooking time calculator Metric"

The gory details

The roast meat cooking calculator has been completely re-written to make it more flexible and the roasting cooking times taken from trusted sources:
Delia Smith's Roast meat cooking times from Delia On-line.
RoastingTimes.com
More meat types will be added shortly.
After much research I have decided not to include fan-assisted ovens in the cooking schedule as I cannot find reliable enough sources for roasting times using these.
Should you have any comments please use the 'send us your suggestions' link above, comment here or on my talk page. --Chef 11:17, 23 January 2011 (GMT)
I reduced the pork cooking times following email feedback, since then I have had more emails stating pork was being unercooked so I have re-enstated the original calcs.
Check with a meat thermometer

All meat (including pork) can be safely prepared by cooking to an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C) or more for 15 seconds or more. #http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis
