How to use it
- Enter original weight and time.
- Enter new weight in the same unit.
- Choose linear or square-root scaling and calculate.
Cooking Time Calculator
Compare a reference cooking time with a different item weight using a simple estimate.
About the Cooking Time Calculator
Explore how a reference time changes under two simplified weight-scaling assumptions.
Estimation logic
Linear time multiplies by the weight ratio; square-root time multiplies by the square root of that ratio.
Example
Doubling weight from a 60-minute reference estimates 120 minutes linearly or about 84.85 minutes by square-root scaling.
Notes
Shape, thickness, equipment, starting temperature and method are not modeled. The result never confirms doneness or safety.
