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.
You can't figure your recipe costs or ideal food cost unless you include accurate yield factors. To get these, you can spend weeks testing food yourself or you can look them up in The Book of Yields CD. This CD contains the exact information you need to efficiently enter food items into any inventory or recipe-costing program. 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.
- Trim yields.
- Cooking yields.
- Weight-to-volume equivalents.
