Does this recipe look legit?

also splitting it up into two 18 qt roasters. should that be enough space?

i cant think of anything easier to cook than red beans...ive done it for 50 before, i think i used 8lbs of dry beans. for 100 you might just do 14- 16 lbs. i would use 10lbs of meat at least
you'll need at least 4 gallons of water/liquid, so size your cooking vessels accordingly
HERE'S a recipe for 50, from camellia

I did some experimenting around for a possible red beans and rice calculator and came up with these amounts:
Red Beans Yields
Soak:
1 lb beans
8 cups water
1 1/2 Tbs salt
After Soak you'll have:
5 cups water
6 cups soaked beans
Drain the water and rinse the beans very well.
To cook
6 cups soaked & rinsed beans
8 cups water (will cover beans by about 1 inch)
3/4 lbs sausage
Yield:
8 cups red beans and sausage
That's 1/2 a gallon of cooked beans per pound dry
Rice for beans:
2 cups raw or 6 cups cooked
To serve
Use 1/2 cup rice for 3/4 cup red beans

quote:Yep, those 2 pots should give you just enough capacity. It's a gallon of cooked beans for every 2 pounds of dry beans. You'll have 36 quarts of pot space and 32 quarts of beans using the recipe you linked.

Recipe looks edible.
Author sounds like a real douche bag after the third sentence though.

quote:You know, now that I looked at that recipe again, he uses a lot of meat. He is using 2 1/2 pounds of meat per lb of beans - I only used 3/4 lb in my experiment. By my estimates, you'll be just overtopping the brim of those 2 roasters if you used all that meat. To be safe, you might want to reduce the meat that goes in the pot and cook some sausage or pork chops separately.
Thanks, Rat!

You must have done great with word problems in math class

My dad had his own engineering firm and my 2 oldest brothers worked for him when I was a kid. Engineers are extremely adept at estimating things very quickly. Business talk frequently spilled over into family time and I picked up some skill from that, I guess.

Sounds a lot like my family (minus the brothers working for the firm, my parents had 4 kids and all of us have steered clear of engineering.)
