Estimate roasting time from meat weight and minutes per unit.
Total roasting time is the meat weight multiplied by the minutes-per-pound rate for that cut, independent of shape variation. Timing by weight is the standard way to plan roasts because internal doneness scales with thermal mass far more than clock time.
Cooking Time by Weight
Cook time = weight x minutes per pound
Cook time = weight x minutes per pound Total roasting time is the meat weight multiplied by the minutes-per-pound rate for that cut, independent of shape variation.
Timing by weight is the standard way to plan roasts because internal doneness scales with thermal mass far more than clock time.
This calculator takes 3 inputs: Meat weight, Minutes per pound, Resting time. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
