Roast Time Rechner — Formel

## How to Calculate Roast Time

### Formula

**Cooking Time = Weight (lb) x Minutes Per Pound**

### Minutes Per Pound Guidelines

- Beef rare: 15 min/lb
- Beef medium: 20 min/lb
- Beef well done: 25 min/lb
- Pork: 20 min/lb
- Lamb: 25 min/lb
- Chicken: 20 min/lb

### Target Internal Temperatures

- Beef rare: 125°F (52°C)
- Beef medium: 145°F (63°C)
- Pork: 145°F (63°C)
- Chicken: 165°F (74°C)

Lösungsbeispiel

Calculate roasting time for a 5 lb beef roast to medium.

  1. Cooking time: 5 x 20 = 100 minutes.
  2. Rest time: 15 + 5 x 2 = 25 minutes.
  3. Total: 100 + 25 = 125 minutes (about 2 hours).
  4. Use a thermometer: target 145°F for medium.
