Follow these hints: • Meat quantities in casseroles, soups, stews or sauces should be doubled. • When a recipe calls for “One whole 3-pound fryer”, use two whole chickens of a similar weight. • Beef roasts, pork roasts or hams should be increased but not doubled because vegetables are included due to the size and shape of the meat cuts. Use 4 to 5 pound roast or ham.
