Formula and methodology
Formula: refrigerator hours≈24×weight kg/2.04; cold-water hours≈2.20462×weight kg.
The calculator converts the turkey weight into a conservative planning estimate for two common methods. Thawing must remain within the safe temperature conditions described by food-safety guidance.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Turkey weight (kg) — minimum 0.1; maximum 100
- Thawing method — 2 choices
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Turkey weight (kg) | 5 |
| Thawing method | refrigerator |
5 kg → about 58.8 refrigerator hours, or 2.45 days.
Assumptions and limits
- Refrigerator planning uses about 24 hours per 4–5 pounds.
- Cold-water planning uses about 30 minutes per pound and requires changing the water regularly.
- The turkey is kept in its packaging where the method guidance calls for it and is cooked promptly after cold-water thawing.
