Weight is King: For consistency, always try to measure ingredients by weight. A cup of flour can vary in weight by up to 20% depending on how it's packed!
Prep Yield %: This is for trim loss. If you buy 1 lb of onions but lose 12% to peeling, your yield is 88%. Enter `88`.
Cook Change %: This accounts for what happens during cooking. For a burger that shrinks by 25%, enter `-25`. For rice that absorbs water, enter `200`.
