Meat Tools Question

[Oddley]

I suppose this question is directed towards parson, In the brine calculator In meat tools what does % Drip mean.

I ask because I'm giving my salt beef brine a face lift. I can calculate the brine by hand but why do that when a program will do it for me.

That's exactly why I posted the link. I hope that others also use it.

The Percent Drip would be calculated as below
% Drip = 100 - ((weight of the Lot when removed from the brine /(weight of Original Lot+weight of Brine injected into Original Lot)* 100)

I'm not sure how this applies to the "Initial" brine calculation as typically this is a "historical/after the fact figure". I'll have to think about this in this particular application and get back to you.


kind regards
