Frequently asked questions

How many pages are in this set?

32. Every one carries the same structure: a quick answer with the figure in it, a static table you can read or quote without running any scripts, and the source of the numbers. They are generated from one data file, which is why they stay consistent with each other.

Where do these numbers come from?

Typical ranges drawn from manufacturer manuals. Verify proteins with a probe rather than a timer. We quote published USDA and FSIS figures with a link to the source, we label anything derived from a model as calculated and state the assumptions, and where we have no defensible figure we return nothing and say why rather than estimating one.
