Using food scale



Recommended Posts

Hi all- this may be a silly question - but for those who use a food scale (esp to measure proteins) so you weigh before or after cooking? My mother just got me a scale as a pre-surgery gift and I've never used one before.

This may sound silly, but it depends. If I am making bread, I measure before :) If I am cooking ground beef for storage, I measure after. If I am concerned about portion size, I measure after because most nutritional information is for cooked, rather than raw.
