Question

Adam buys a bigger turkey than he needs.

The turkey he buys weighs 7 kg.


Below are the cooking instructions for the turkey.

Cooking Instructions
Weight Cooking times
Less than 4 kg Allow 20 minutes per kg, plus 70 minutes
Over 4 kg Allow 20 minutes per kg, plus 90 minutes
Always leave the turkey to rest for 30 minutes before carving, to retain the moisture.

He plans to carve the turkey at 17:15.

What time should he start cooking the turkey? :

Answer 1

ok...u got a 7 kg bird

allow 20 minutes per kg, + 90 minutes...
(20 * 7) + 90 = 140 + 90 = 230 minutes....cooking time

allow to rest 30 min. before carving

17:15 - (30 + 230) = 17:15 - 260 minutes.....260 min = 4 hrs 20 minutes....so u should start cooking at : 12:55 <==

Answer 2

He should start cooking at 15:00
