A simple meat cooking model is evaluated, using three-dimensional irregular geometries as simulation domains and the finite element method. Experimental meat cooking was carried out in a convective oven to obtain process information and to assess the model accuracy, which is determined through the cooking time and the weight loss estimation. In both cases the model underestimates the experimental results.
