How This Calculator Works — Formula & Method
Source: standard UK roasting guidance · applied deterministically · verify with a thermometer
| Constant | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Min per 500 g | 60 min (range 55–70) | UK roasting guides |
| Internal target | 88°C / 190°F | FSA / thermometer |
| Base offset | 30 min | Standard |
| Oven | 220°C sear for 25 min, then 150°C | Method |
| Resting | 20 min | Best practice |
— Slow roast pork cooking time —
total_min = min_per_500g × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
range = [lo_per_500g … hi_per_500g] × (weight_g / 500) + base_offset
conventional_oven = fan_temp + 10–20°C (same time)
fahrenheit = derived table from °C
— algorithm —
lookup(meat, cut, doneness) → point_estimate → guidance_range
→ internal_target_temp → verify_with_thermometer()
