How long do you cook something 275 if the recipe calls for 400?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are cooking. You cannot cook something faster by just rising the temp. At least not with the desired results.

Answer 2

Well, half of 400 is 200 so maybe a little less than double the amount? On the other hand, 275 is close to 300 so that's technically more like 3/4 or 75% of 400. I would take the amount of time needed for 400 and multiply by 3/4 or .75 to get an estimated cook time. Realize though, that because it is an estimated cook time, and NOT exact, that when it becomes about the end time, you have to keep checking it and see if it's ready. In this case, you would have to check a little bit earlier than that because 275 is not quite 3/4 or 75% of 400, that would be 300.

For example:

Say you need to cook something for 45 minutes:

Take the 45 minutes and multiply by .75

45 x .75 = 33.75

Now I know rounding rules would tell you to round up, as it is over .5 and is closest to 34 minutes, but for cooking, when rounding to the nearest minute, always round down so as not to take any chances of overcooking your food, unless it is exceptionally close to the next minute.

However, If you want to find an exact answer, and not have to keep checking to see when your food will be done, you would do the same formula, except multiply by the exact in either a fraction or decimal point (multiplying decimal points are easier on a calculator, and you don't have to convert from decimal to fraction).

For example:

You said you need to cook something at 275:

Divide 275 by 400

275 / 400 = .6875

275 / 400 reduces to 11 / 16, which is equivalent to .6875, so it checks

You didn't say, how long you had to cook it for, so I'll use the example from above, 45 minutes.

Now take the 275, and either set up a proportion of x / 275= 45 / 400, or if you aren't comfortable with cross mutiplying, then take the 45 minutes and multiply by .6875

45 x

---- = ---- 45 x 275 = 400x

400 275 12375 = 400x

30.9375 = x

OR you can:

45 x .6875 = 30.9375

In this case, I would round up to 31 minutes, just because it is so tremendously close to 31, but you can also put it in a range between 30-31.

Keep in mind that 45 minutes is just an example, a variable that can easily be changed. When in doubt, just proportion it out. :)

Answer 3

Don't waste the food. It won't work, there is a reason for the low temp. and the long cooking time.

Answer 4

It depends on what you are cooking. You cannot cook something faster by just rising the temp. At least not with the desired results.

Answer 5

You would get a very different result from such a drastic change in baking temperature. It's probably not a good idea.
