I find it extremely useful, especially in the area of determining how much
raw ingredient I need to buy to make the cooked amount I want to serve.
There is so much shrinkage in some items when you cook them that it is
extremely easy to buy what looks like far more than enough and come up short
once the item is cooked (spinach comes to mind...).
