The statement is correct. A can cutting or drained weight test is used to determine the weight of solid product versus the weight of the liquid in a canned good. The food service operator opens the can and drains any liquid, then weighs the solid product to determine its net weight. This is an important step in food prep because it ensures that the correct amount of ingredients are being used in recipes and that customers are receiving the proper portion sizes.
