Formule
## How to Scale Cooking Time ### Formula **Minutes Per Pound = Original Time / Original Weight** **New Time = Minutes Per Pound x New Weight** This provides a linear estimate. For very large roasts, cooking time per pound may decrease slightly because the oven maintains a constant temperature. ### Important Always use a meat thermometer. Time estimates are guidelines; internal temperature is the definitive measure of doneness.
Exemple Résolu
A 4 lb roast takes 120 minutes. How long for a 6 lb roast?
- 01Minutes per pound: 120 / 4 = 30 min/lb.
- 02New time: 30 x 6 = 180 minutes (3 hours).
- 03Use a meat thermometer to verify doneness.
Questions Fréquentes
Does cooking time scale linearly with weight?
Approximately, but not exactly. Larger roasts may cook slightly faster per pound because the surface area to volume ratio decreases. Use a thermometer.
Should I change oven temperature?
Generally keep the same temperature. Only adjust if the surface is browning too fast (tent with foil) or not browning enough (increase for the last 15 minutes).
What about resting time?
Larger roasts need more resting time. Allow 15-20 minutes for a 4 lb roast and 30-45 minutes for a large turkey.
