Roast Timer

“1.8kg chicken — how long, and what time do I put it in to eat at 1pm?”

What time the joint goes in so it's ready when you sit down. With the resting time taken off, the temperature to pull it out at rather than the one you want it to end up at, and the places good sources genuinely disagree.

  • Works backwards from when you want to eat, resting included
  • Two temperatures: what to pull it out at, and what it settles at afterwards
  • Knows whether the high-heat blast is inside the time or on top — sources differ
  • Flags where a chef's target sits below the US federal minimum, instead of hiding it
  • Fan oven conversion, and a warning not to cut the temperature and the time

In, turned down, checked, out, rested, carved.

Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. There is no account, no login and no server. Switch your wi-fi off and it still works — that's not a promise about our policy, it's just how the tool is built.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.

I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?

The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
