Getting the perfect result from your BBQ is an art, but this Calculator Site tool makes it a science. The cooking time depends on the cut of meat, its weight, and your desired doneness. While our calculator provides a reliable estimate, the most accurate way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer.
Different meats require different internal temperatures to be safe and delicious. For instance, chicken must reach 74°C, while a rare steak is perfect at 52°C. Explore different options in the calculator to see how timings change, and don't forget to check out our Oven Temperature Converter for other cooking methods.
Don't Forget to Rest Your Meat!
Resting meat after cooking is crucial. It allows the juices to redistribute throughout the cut, resulting in a more tender and flavourful meal. If you cut into it too soon, the juices will run out, leaving the meat dry. The calculator automatically includes a recommended rest time.
Understanding the key temperatures and times is essential for any grill master. Here are a few key stats to remember for your next cookout. For other large-joint cooking, see the Bird Cooking Time Calculator.
