Exemple Résolu
Buy roast beef for 6 people, targeting 200 g cooked per person.
- 01Cooked serving: 200 g per person.
- 02Shrinkage: 25% (medium).
- 03Raw per person: 200 / (1 - 0.25) = 200 / 0.75 = 267 g.
- 04Total raw: 267 x 6 = 1600 g = 3.5 lbs.
Questions Fréquentes
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.
