Measured cooking yield records what happened to a particular batch. It is more useful than assuming every ingredient loses the same weight.

Enter matching raw and cooked measurements, then use the observed ratio for your target. Review the method before applying it to a different batch.

## Inputs and controls

* Raw input mass (g). Allowed range: 0.001 to 10000000
* Cooked output mass (g). Allowed range: 0.001 to 10000000
* Desired cooked mass (g). Allowed range: 0 to 10000000

## How to use

* Enter raw input mass and cooked output mass.

* Enter desired cooked mass.

* Select Calculate result. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.


## Why use this tool

The measured basis helps you plan quantities from your own cooking records instead of an unexplained yield percentage.


## Before relying on the result

Use the same ingredient and measurement basis. This extrapolates your measured yield; it does not predict every future batch.


## Tool limitations

Use the same ingredient and measurement basis. This extrapolates your measured yield; it does not predict every future batch.

## Questions

### Will the same yield occur every time?

Not necessarily. Ingredient condition and cooking method can change it. Recheck the ratio when the process changes.

### What should I check before using Cooking Yield Calculator?

Check Raw input mass, Cooked output mass and Desired cooked mass. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
