Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How accurate are the cooking times?

The cooking times provided are based on extensive research for cooking on a high-heat grill or pan. However, factors like grill temperature, starting meat temperature, and ambient conditions can affect cook times. For guaranteed results, we recommend using a meat thermometer to check for your target internal temperature.

Why is the preheat time 10 minutes?

A screaming hot cooking surface is the key to a great sear, which locks in flavor and creates a delicious crust. 10 minutes ensures your grill or pan reaches the optimal temperature (around 450-500°F or 230-260°C) for searing.

What if I get interrupted while cooking?

You can pause the timer at any point during a timed step. From the "Actions" menu, you can also restart the current step or skip to the next one if needed.

Does the app work in the background?

Yes! High Steaks uses Live Activities and notifications to keep the timer visible on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you don't have to keep the app open.
