Oven time & temperature device and method of computing oven cookng time

A method for device for computing the time saved for the heat transferred during the period of time the oven takes to reach the suggested cooking temperature comprising:

• inputting the predetermined cooking temperature from the food package and/or cook book;
• retrieving from memory the time spent for an oven to be heated from a first temperature to a series of predetermined cooking temperatures;
• calculating the time needed for the oven to reach the predetermined cooking temperature;
• estimating the heat transferred to food during the time oven taken to reach predetermined cooking temperature;
• calculating the cooking time based upon insertion of the food into the oven at room temperature.

A device for computing the heat transferred during the period of time the oven takes to reach a predetermined cooking temperature comprising:

• at least one processor for estimating a first cooking time;
• a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor;
• an input for inputting the first cooking time and the amount of time an oven takes to achieve a series of cooking temperatures;
• the at least one processor operating to estimate the heat transferred to the food during the time period that the oven takes to reach the predetermined cooking temperature;
• the at least one processor operating to compute the amount of heat transferred to the food per unit time at the predetermined cooking temperature, and the at least one processor operating to calculate a reduced cooking time needed to cook the food based upon insertion of food into the oven at a temperature other than the predetermined cooking temperature.
