I Derived a Steak

"I Derived a Steak" is a precision grilling calculator for home cooks and barbecue enthusiasts that uses thermal models, Fick's law of diffusion, and protein science to predict perfect meat doneness. It solves the common problem of imprecise recipes by deriving exact cooking times and salting schedules. The project is interesting because it applies rigorous scientific modeling to an intuitive, sensory craft, making consistent, restaurant-quality results accessible to anyone.
