Show HN: I Derived a Steak

A developer created a grilling calculator that uses thermal models, Fick's law of diffusion, and protein structures to derive perfect meat results. The tool also calculates optimal salting times, dry brine methods, and charcoal quantities based on physics, following a similar pancake calculator project.

After years of juggling imprecise grilling recipes and temperatures, I've made a grilling calculator that derives perfect meat results from thermal models, Fick's law of diffusion, protein structures, and more. Along the way I calculated exactly how far in advance to salt meat spoiler: even when it's frozen , realized the best dry brine is usually "cling brine" covered , derived approximate charcoal quantities with physics, and much more. As with the pancake calculator 1 , I did an insane amount of grilling to develop this. And like the pancake one, it's a pure ESM library with frameworks around heat and salt diffusion and the other underpinnings, making it easier to develop more recipes. 1 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48408854 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48408854 Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48691840 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48691840 Points: 1 Comments: 0
