Heat from Freezer to Any Temperature
How long it will take to heat an entire piece of meat from 32°F / -18°C to the temperature of the water bath.
Reminder, this food might not be pasteurized at these times and food should not be cooked at temperatures less than 131ºF / 55°C for more than 4 hours.
While there are slight differences in the heating time for different temperatures of water baths, the times usually vary less than 5 to 10% even going from a 111ºF / 44°C bath to a 141ºF / 60.5°C bath, which equates to a difference of 5 minutes every hour. We show the largest value in our chart, so if you are cooking it at a lower temperature you can knock a little of the time off.
Pasteurize from Refrigerator to 131°F / 55°C
This is the amount of time it will take a piece of meat that is 41°F / 5°C to become pasteurized in a 131°F / 55°C water bath.
Pasteurize from Refrigerator to 141°F / 60.5°C
This is the amount of time it will take a piece of meat that is 41°F / 5°C to become pasteurized in a 141°F / 60.5°C water bath.
