Get perfectly seasoned, tender meat every time with the Meat Salt Calculator! Based on the professional molecular cuisine golden salt ratio (1.5%~2%), this offline cooking tool helps you calculate precise salt, water, and sugar portions for meat marination, completely eliminating dry, bland, or over-salted results. Supporting four common meat types (Chicken Breast, Pork Loin, Salmon, Beef) and three cooking methods (Pan Fry, Grill, Deep Fry), the app provides accurate marination formulas by simply entering the raw meat weight. Switch freely between Dry Cure and Wet Brine modes to match different cooking scenarios. Built-in marination countdown timer with local reminder reminds you of perfect curing time for thick-cut steak and various meats. The local AI logic automatically adjusts the salt ratio based on your taste feedback (tenderness & saltiness rating), continuously optimizing your marination recipes. Equipped with sauce salt conversion function, it accurately converts salt content from soy sauce and fish sauce to avoid excessive salt intake. All calculations, records and timers work 100% offline without internet connection. Ideal for fitness meal prep, camping barbecue and home cooking beginners. Core Features: Professional 1.5%-2% golden meat salt ratio calculation、Dry Cure & Wet Brine dual modes、Marinade countdown & local alarm reminder、Sauce salt substitution conversion、Local taste record & intelligent ratio optimization、Fully offline & private, no data upload
