Abstract

We present an accurate two-dimensional mathematical model for steak cooking based on Flory-Rehner theory. The model treats meat as a poroelastic medium saturated with fluid. Heat from cooking induces protein matrix deformation and moisture loss, leading to shrinkage. Numerical simulations indicate good agreement with multiple sources of experimental data. Moreover, this work presents a new and computationally non-expensive method to account for shrinkage.
