Raw and Cooked Beef Measurements
The volume of ground beef decreases when cooked because cooking it renders the fat it contains into liquid, and that liquid typically stays in the pan or is drained away and does not stay with the beef. 3 cups of cooked ground beef crumbles are produced from one pound of raw ground beef that is 85% lean or leaner. Because the fat will cook and drain away, ground beef with a higher percentage of fat will produce a little bit less. Only 12 ounces, or 3/4 pounds, of cooked ground beef can be produced from one pound of raw ground beef (16 ounces).
