Cooked Meat weight

  • I know IP wants us to weigh our meat raw
    I tend to eat out or buy a cooked tri tip or cooked chicken and need to weigh my meat cooked:

    is this a good estimation?-I found it on the internet:

    4 ounces of raw meat/fish/poultry will yield 3 ounces, when cooked. 8 ounces raw will yield 6 ounces, & so forth. Ratio is 4 to 3.
  • yup. of course it is approximate but it is a good guesstimate
