Cooking Time Calculator

Getting the cooking time right is the difference between a perfectly roasted joint and a dry, overdone disappointment. This calculator takes the type of meat and its weight, then gives you the correct oven temperature, total cooking time, and resting period. It covers beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, and gammon, with options for how well done you like it.

You will also get helpful tips on when to use a meat thermometer, how to tell when poultry is properly cooked through, and how resting improves the finished result. If you have any comments or would like additional tools, please leave a comment at the bottom of this page.

Your Result
Cooking times are guidelines based on standard UK oven temperatures. Actual times vary depending on your oven, the shape of the joint, and whether it is bone-in or boneless. Always use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, especially for poultry. Chicken and turkey must reach 75°C internally.
