To calculate the Total Cooking Time (\(TCT\)):
\[ TCT = W \times 30 \]
Where:
The 30 minutes per pound rule is a general guideline used in cooking to estimate the time it takes to roast or cook something in the oven. It is commonly used for large cuts of meat, such as turkey or ham, where cooking times can be difficult to estimate due to the size of the item. This rule helps to prevent undercooking or overcooking by providing a starting point for determining the cooking time.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ TCT = 5 \times 30 = 150 \text{ minutes} \]
The Total Cooking Time is 150 minutes.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ TCT = 8 \times 30 = 240 \text{ minutes} \]
The Total Cooking Time is 240 minutes.
