Cook My Meat

This is an interesting on line calculator that was developed by some students at MIT for meat cooking times in the Science of Cooking class.

I did a Make Your Own chart
You can toggle between C or F in the top right corner. Time is in minutes 1 hour equals 60:00 minutes

Meat Type Turkey

Thickness 5 cm
Starting at 40 F

155 F - 155 F 120:00 min
356 F - 73F 1:00 min
73 F - 356 F 1:00 min

*Cook*

So I am doing a Sous Vide cook from the refrigerator on turkey breast with the water temperature at 155 F for 2 hours and searing the meat after letting the meat cool down to room temperature.
After clicking on the *Cook* button, it appears that the meat would be done several minutes earlier.
I haven't cooked this in real life but since the students are working in thermodynamics, I bet it is close.

The link came from this video: Mathematics of Cooking
