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.
