Cooking Chart

The following times are meant to be used as guidelines only. Times will vary due to the thickness of the meat being cooked. To be sure that a meat is truly done, use a meat thermometer. If the food does need more time to cook, reset the timer in 5-10 minute increments and check periodically so you do not over cook.
