how do you weigh meats?

[trovic]

I buy my meat whole from the supermarket and they sell it by the pound obviously. So if its $10 per pound for a sirloin and I get 2 pounds it comes out to $20. my question is if I weigh my food are you supposed to weigh it raw or cooked? Doesn’t it lose a lot of weight during the cooking process?

You should weigh the food raw not cooked, thats the only way to know whats up

short answer I don't weigh my food

now if i have a recipe that calls for 1 pound of ground beef then i will make sure i buy the right amount cause if i don't i will run out of beef. i would always buy a bit more.

I have seen it done both ways. I don't care to monitor things that closely though. I just eat good clean food in a 4 hour window each day.
