Cooking Time Calculator by Meat Weight
Calculate cooking time for turkey, chicken, beef, pork, and ham by weight and oven temperature.
Indian Cooking
Chicken curry: 30-40 min। Mutton: 45-60 min (pressure cooker: 20-25 min!)। Paneer: 15-20 min। Dal: 15 min (pressure cooker 3-4 whistles)। Rice: 15-20 min। Pressure cooker is the Indian kitchen MVP — saves 60-70% cooking time and gas।
Pressure Cooker
Prestige, Hawkins, Pigeon: top brands। ISI mark mandatory (safety)। 3L: 2 people। 5L: family। Gas savings: 60-70% vs open pot।
Dry-brining (rubbing salt on the turkey 24-48 hours before cooking) produces dramatically juicier meat than wet-brining or no-brining. The salt draws out moisture, dissolves proteins on the surface, and the moisture is reabsorbed — resulting in deeper seasoning and better browning with no soggy skin.
