Overview

 Software  Dec 2007  Francis T. Lynch

Do you understand the importance of yield factors? Do you know that if you take ten pounds of raw turkey, cook and debone it, you end up with five pounds of usable product for a 50% yield. This doubles the cost of prepped turkey relative to raw.

To get these, you can spend weeks testing food yourself or you can look them up in The Book of Yields CD.

With this, you can easily convert purchase units from weights to volumes and from raw to trimmed foods.

The CD includes:

• Over 3,000 measures of 900 common foods.
