ThawTime tells you exactly how long to safely thaw and roast meat, worked out from the weight and the method. No more guessing whether the turkey will be ready in time, and no more risky counter thawing.
Pick a cut, enter the weight, and choose refrigerator or cold water. ThawTime shows the thaw time, a ready by clock, how many times to change the water, and the safe internal temperature to cook to.
WHAT YOU GET
- Fridge and cold water thaw times for any cut, by weight
- A built in guide to 18 cuts: turkey, chicken, duck, beef, pork, lamb, ham, ground meat, salmon, and more, each with its safe internal temperature
- Roast time, oven temperature, and safe target temperature by weight
- One tap presets for holiday turkey, Sunday chicken, glazed ham, beef roast, leg of lamb, pork loin, and duck
- Thaw timers with a ready alert and a reminder to change the water every 30 minutes
- A printable cooking plan you can share, plus CSV export of your thaw log
- Food safety notes on every screen
FREE AND LIFETIME
Thaw times are free for every cut, forever. One optional purchase unlocks roast timing, the cook presets, thaw timers with reminders, and the printable cooking plan. It is a one time purchase. There is no subscription.
FOOD SAFETY
ThawTime gives planning estimates based on USDA style guidance. Times vary with your fridge, your water temperature, and the exact cut. Always confirm doneness with a food thermometer, and never thaw meat on the counter. ThawTime cannot guarantee food safety.
Private by design. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking.
