Raw to Cooked Weight Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Cooked Weight (CW) from Raw Weight (RW):

\[ CW = RW - 0.25 \cdot RW \]

Where:

\(CW\) is the Cooked Weight (ounces)
\(RW\) is the Raw Weight (ounces)

What is Cooked Weight from Raw Weight?

The Cooked Weight from Raw Weight calculation estimates the final weight of food after cooking, taking into account the average moisture loss during the cooking process. Typically, the cooked weight is about 75% of the raw weight due to the loss of water and fat during cooking.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Raw Weight (\(RW\)) = 16 ounces

Using the formula:

\[ CW = 16 - 0.25 \cdot 16 = 16 - 4 = 12 \text{ ounces} \]

The cooked weight is 12 ounces.
