Are you supposed to weigh your food (ie: 4 oz chicken breast) before or after it is cooked ?

May be a silly question but....

Thank you :smile:

    I do it raw for meat. A 4 oz chicken breast will cook down to 3 oz. pasta, rice, dry food weigh it before you cook it since it absorbs water and will be heavier after you cook it.
