How much does one pound of bacon weight after cooking?

Answer 1

When bacon is cooked, it loses water and fat content, resulting in a reduction in weight. On average, bacon can lose about 20-30% of its weight during the cooking process. So, one pound of raw bacon would typically weigh around 12-16 ounces after cooking, depending on factors such as cooking method and desired crispiness.

Answer 2

Given the conservation of matter, one pound.

Given that no system is perfect, the weight of bacon post cooking depends entirely on the amount of fat present in the bacon, the length of time the bacon is cooked and whether you are including the grease leftover in the pan after cooking.

In general, bacon consists of 40-60% fat. If you cook it to a burnt crisp, you'll likely have half or less of the weight of the bacon you started with. If you cook until you reach a rubbery texture, you'll probably lose closer to only 30-40% of the bacon's original weight.
