Steak Timer
About the Steak Timer
A good steak is mostly discipline at the pan. This Steak Timer counts per-side sear times by thickness and doneness, then times the rest that keeps the juices in the meat instead of on the board. Cast-iron cooks run three minutes a side for medium-rare, grillers time two-zone finishes, and reverse-sear fans count the oven stage before the final blast. Sear, flip, and rest steaks from rare through well-done with per-side countdowns.
How to use it
- Open the Steak Timer page and pick a preset or enter the time from your recipe.
- Label the dish or batch in the task field so parallel cooks stay identifiable.
- Start the countdown at the recipe-defined moment, like the water boiling or the pan reaching temperature.
- Stay within earshot and let the timer run; open the oven or lid only when checks are due.
- When the alarm sounds, confirm doneness by sight, feel, or thermometer before serving.
Good to know
Start the timer at the moment the recipe means, usually when the water is boiling or the food goes in. Times change with pan size, altitude, and how cold the food was. Stay nearby for the last minute.
