Häufig Gestellte Fragen
How much does meat shrink when cooked?
Typically 15-40% depending on fat content, cut, and cooking method. High-heat grilling causes more shrinkage than slow roasting.
Should I buy extra?
Yes, buy 10-15% extra as a buffer, especially for events. Leftover meat is easy to use, but running short is difficult to fix.
Does bone-in meat need more per person?
Yes. Bones add weight but are not edible. Buy about 50% more raw weight per person for bone-in cuts compared to boneless.
