raw/cooked ingredients in meal

JanaD

Hi all,
I am wondering how this works with cronometer.
As I usually cook from scratch I always create a new receipt where I put all ingredients. However, when I am going to cook I will weight everything in raw but then when I weight a portion all is cooked. For example if I will put 200 g of uncooked rice to the meal then I will have one portion of that meal with let's say 160 g but rice is cooked now.
Hopefully it make a sense.
Does this making any difference? And is there any better way how to do this?
Thanks

And is there any better way how to do this?

Dunno if it's better but whut I do is:

1. Enter raw ingredients weights
2. Weigh the whole finished product after cooking
3. Edit recipe name to "Whatever per oz"
4. Change the recipe serving sizes to 1 ounce
5. Change the recipe servings per recipe to equal weight in ounces cooked

This is easier if you have a list of tare weights for all your cooking vessels.
