Other Calculators

Bacon Curing Calculator 0.25 percent of the meat weight is not arbitrary — it lands exactly on the 156 ppm legal limit. Bread and Spreads Calculator 80 g of bread and 40 g of filling a head — sandwiches scale cleanly, unlike baking. Brine Calculator In a wet cure the percentage applies to meat AND brine together, not to the meat alone. Egg Boiling Calculator Three minutes for runny, seven for jammy, twelve for hard — from a rolling boil, large egg. Eggs Calculator Two and a half eggs a head for scrambled, which is more than most people guess. Emergency Food Supply Calculator Three litres of water a day is the figure people under-store most, and it runs out first. Ham Cooking Calculator A pre-cooked ham only needs reheating to 60 °C — cooking it to 74 dries it out. Mashed Potatoes Calculator 250 g of potato a head, and the butter is not the place to economise. Rice to Water Ratio Calculator One part rice to two parts water by weight, which is not the same as by volume. Salad Calories Calculator Two tablespoons of dressing outweigh the leaves, tomatoes and cucumber several times over. Steak Cooking Time Calculator Steak is cooked by thickness and temperature, never by weight — the thermometer is the whole method. Sulfur Dioxide Calculator A wine at pH 3.8 needs four times the free SO2 of one at 3.2 for the same protection. Water Cooling Calculator Cooling is exponential, so the last few degrees take far longer than the first many.
