CookingCalc is a free collection of cooking calculators for food calories, air fryer time and temperature, rice to water ratio, and steak cooking time.
All calculations run in your browser and are provided transparently from publicly available food and cooking data. Results are estimates for reference only.
What is CookingCalc
CookingCalc is a free collection of tools that helps anyone who cooks at home quickly and easily handle the calculations they run into in the kitchen. With a single input, you can find values that are tedious to search for every time, such as the calories in a food, the temperature and time for an air fryer, how much water to use when cooking rice, and how long to cook a steak.
Operating Principles (E-E-A-T)
- Experience — We reflect the units and standards actually used in home cooking (bowls, servings, cups, cm) so the tools are ready to use right away.
- Expertise — We calculate based on publicly available data such as average food composition, common cooking temperatures and times, and internal temperatures by doneness.
- Authoritativeness — We point to trustworthy sources such as national food composition databases.
- Trustworthiness — We do not hide the formulas and reference values, and we clearly note items that are estimates. Your inputs are not collected or stored.
Data Sources
The calorie, temperature, and time references used in each calculator are based on the following public data and common cooking standards. Values are averages and estimates and can vary by ingredients, recipe, and equipment.
- USDA FoodData Central — food calories and nutrition
- General manufacturer-recommended air fryer temperatures and times, and common cooking standards
- Recommended internal temperatures by doneness for meat (common cooking standards)
A Note on Accuracy
All CookingCalc results are estimates for reference based on your inputs and publicly available averages and standards. Food calories vary by ingredients and recipe, air fryer times by appliance capacity and design, rice water amounts by how old the rice is and the type of cooker, and steak times by the meat temperature and pan heat. In particular, for meat and fish, check the internal temperature with a cooking thermometer for safety. Use the results for fun or reference, and confirm final decisions with the product manual or a professional.
