A cooking time and temperature calculator built from the USDA FSIS Revised Appendix A tables from December 2021.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The tool maps selections for product, lethality target, fat content, and temperature to rows from the December 2021 FSIS Revised Appendix A tables. It distinguishes meat products, chicken, turkey, poultry rolls, and a 5-log meat alternative, while also exposing source table and page references. If a requested combination is absent, the site says it returns no exact match and nearby published temperatures instead of interpolating a value.
