Lowe and Vernon determined the dressing and cooking losses for broilers, fryers, roasters, capons, and hens. All the poultry was roasted except the fryers and broilers. The broilers were broiled under a gas flame in the oven, the fryers were dredged in flour and fried in fat. In frying, the lean fryers absorbed fat, and the fat ones lost fat. The inedible portion includes the weight of all parts of the fowls served but not eaten. 244 MEAT TABLE 33 Average Amount of Waste and Percentage Edible of Different Kinds OF Meat {McElhin7iey) Waste Meat Per cent Per cent edible but not Meat slicable edible on as slicable Kind of on as meat Drip- pings Bone Skin slicable pur- chased pur- chased lbs. oz. lbs. oz. lbs. oz. lbs. oz. lbs. oz. basis basis Prime ribs. well done 3 4 4 2 5 15 13 9 62.4 44.5 Prime ribs. medium 6 1 9 12 15 3 22 3 61.2 39.4 Ham, boiled 10 3 8 14 7 8 18 8 37 12 53.8 36.2 Ham, roasted 29 6 11 8 2 0 21 0 47 13 55.7 37.8 Veal, leg. roast 11 2 9 6 12 12 46 7 55.3 43.3 Lamb, leg. roast 6 13 4 3 3 7 9 8 48.5 37.1 Pork loin 9 11 10 8 8 0 31 1 51.0 40.4 TABLE 34 Cost of Cooked Edible and Slicable Meat {McEUmmey) Cost per pound as pur- chased Cost cooked edible meat Cost of slicable meat Kind of meat per pound per 4-ounce serving per pound per 4-ounce serving Beef, well done Beef, medium Ham, boiled Ham, roasted Veal, leg, roast Lamb, leg, roast Pork loin, roast cents 25.0 25.0 30.0 33.0 28.0 37.5 27.0 cents 40.4 42.1 57.8 60.5 49.5 81.7 55.3 cents 10.1 12.4 14.4 15.1 12.4 20.4 13.8 cents 58.6 65.2 90.2 88.3 63.2 107.4 71.4 cents 14.7 16.3 22.5 21.8 15.8 26.8 17.8 ROASTING OF POULTRY 245 TABLE 35 Data for Dressing and Cooking Losses of Different Classes of Poultry Based on Per Cent of Live Weight {Lowe and Vernon) Average all classes Number of birds. . . .
