If I have a minute steak that weighs 5 oz raw, how much would it weigh when I cook it in the toaster oven?

depends on how long you cook it and what the fat% is
and why would you cook it in a toaster oven?0 -
Uhm you use the pre-cooked weight to log it. And why are you toasting it? I wouldn't want that in my convection toaster oven either.0

log it raw0

I use a toaster oven because I don't have a regular oven. Why would I log it raw?0

because you know the weight of raw product0

why cook it in the oven at all? cook it in a skillet if you can't grill it.0

I weigh all my meat when it is raw - and log it under that weight - most of what you lose when you cook it is moisture ( especially if the meat is lean to start with)0
