Cooking Time Adjustment Calculator
Adjust cooking time when you change the oven temperature, with the caution that baking needs.
This works better for roasting than baking
Time-temperature swaps are reasonable for meat and vegetables, where the goal is a core temperature. They work badly for cakes and bread, where the temperature itself drives structure: too low and a cake will not set before it dries, too high and the crust forms before the crumb rises. For baking, change the pan size rather than the temperature.
The formula
Approximate: new time ≈ original time × original temp ÷ new temp
Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
