Frequently Asked Questions
How does steak thickness affect cooking time?
Thicker steaks take proportionally longer to cook through, since heat needs more time to reach the center.
How long should a 1 inch steak cook per side for medium-rare?
At a typical 2 minutes per side per inch, a 1 inch steak cooks about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare on a hot pan or grill.
Does this replace checking internal temperature?
No, using a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature is the most reliable way to hit your target doneness, this calculator gives a starting estimate.
