Understanding the Yield Ratio

The yield ratio is the percentage of the dry pasta weight that remains after it is cooked. For example, if you have 100 grams of dry pasta with a yield ratio of 70%, it will yield approximately 70 grams of cooked pasta.

Example

If you have 200 grams of dry pasta with a yield ratio of 70%, the cooked weight will be:

200 grams × (70 / 100) = 140 grams

This means that 200 grams of dry pasta will yield approximately 140 grams of cooked pasta.
