What is the Meat Shrinkage Calculator & How does it work?

Meat shrinkage is a critical factor in food preparation, especially when planning portion sizes or adjusting recipes. Meat loses moisture during cooking, which affects its final weight and texture.

The extent of shrinkage depends on the cooking method (e.g., roasting, grilling) and the temperature at which it’s cooked. Higher temperatures generally lead to greater shrinkage due to increased evaporation of moisture.

Shrinkage\_Percentage = \frac{Initial\_Weight – Final\_Weight}{Initial\_Weight} \times 100

Shrinkage_Percentage = Percentage of weight loss
Initial_Weight = Weight before cooking
Final_Weight = Weight after cooking
