Just realized how much I was wasting on trim waste after a sous chef pointed out my carrot ends were hitting the 15% mark

He measured my scraps over a week and I was losing almost 2 pounds a shift on just root vegetables, anyone else ever actually track their trim loss on a scale or am I the only one who never thought to?

Did you actually weigh it every shift or just eyeball it? That's wild to see it laid out in pounds like that, I bet it adds up fast.

Nah I weighed it with a bathroom scale at the end of each shift, seeing 23 pounds of wasted cheese in one day was brutal.
