Frequently asked questions
How many pages are in this set?
28. 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 for electric cookers at roughly 11 psi, with stovetop equivalents at a true 15 psi. 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.
