Use edible weight. For canned beans, enter drained weight. A bag or can needs a confirmed quantity. Fresh / packaged foods follow their actual labels.

Already prepared roast

Apply your pantry quantities first, then record the completed roast. Its raw pantry ingredients are consumed once, and its original shares are kept when dinners change. Confirm actual handling and storage; recording cannot certify freshness. Keep the saved serving count. Start fresh to plan a new batch.

Leave the time blank to use the saved plan’s prep finish. A different prep date needs a new plan before recording.
