RoastBack: Meal Time Planner

Now with warming drawer support, live probe temperature guidance, AI cooking guides, and on-the-fly session adjustments

CookTimer takes the guesswork out of cooking meat perfectly. Tell it what you're cooking, how much it weighs, and how you like it done — and it calculates exactly when to start, when to pull it from the oven, and when dinner is ready.

WHAT IT DOES

• Supports beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, duck, and venison • All common doneness levels — from rare to well done • Calculates oven pre-heat time, cooking time, and resting time • Probe temperature targets — not guesswork • Carry-over cooking accounted for automatically

TEMPERATURE GUIDE

Pull temperature is everything. CookTimer tells you the exact internal temperature to pull your meat from the oven, accounting for the carry-over cooking that happens while it rests.

Choose to rest at room temperature or in a warming drawer — CookTimer shows both probe temperatures side by side so you hit the mark either way.

WHILE YOU COOK

• Live Activity on your lock screen shows your current cooking step • Home screen widget shows next step and time remaining • Set reminders for each stage so you never miss a step • Adjust mid-cook: shift your meal time, extend cooking time, or get advice when you change your oven temperature
