Even though I know how to bake sweets perfectly, I don't know the basics of cooking meat. I know how to coordinate flavors and textures for the most part, but it would help me a lot if I knew the basic staple times too cook most cuts of different kids of meats thoroughly. Thanks so much for your help!

You cook meat by temp not time. Use a good meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the meat.
Cook Chicken and Turkey to 165f - 170f
Cook Pork to 160f
A Rare steaks start around 125f and goes up to 150f - 160f for well done
Seafood to 140f

follow the directions from the recipe, as far as temperature for the oven or grill. use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is cooked through. General rule of thumb, 160 degrees.
