About CookingCalculator.co.uk

CookingCalculator.co.uk is a set of 112 UK cooking calculators: roasting times by weight, oven temperature and gas mark conversions, grams and cups, portions per person, cake tins, brines, leftovers, timers and a planner that turns several dishes into one cooking schedule.

Metric measures and UK conventions come first, because that is what British kitchens, packaging and recipes use. American cups, sticks of butter and fluid ounces are supported wherever they appear in recipes, and we say which fluid ounce we mean.

Nothing on this site is generated on the fly by a language model. Every cooking time comes from a written rule stored in one place, minutes per kilogram, a fixed extra allowance, an oven temperature, a safe core temperature and a resting time, and every calculator reads the same rule. If turkey guidance changes, it changes once.

Where food safety is involved we follow published Food Standards Agency guidance and link to it, with the date we last checked the link and the wording. How we work out the numbers explains this in full.

We would rather say we have no reliable guidance for something than invent a number. There are no accounts, no newsletter wall and no tracking of what you cook. Your meal plan and timers are stored on your own device only.

Corrections are welcome, particularly on cooking times and safety wording. See the contact page.
