re: Beans in 5 gallon pot

quote:I disagree. I cooked 1 pound of dry beans with 3/4 pound of sliced sausage. When cooked, it measured almost exactly 8 cups with a medium consistency.
I've come to add some scientific clarification. 1 pound of dry beans will yield 6 cups of cooked beans. So 15 pounds of dry beans will yield 90 cups of cooked beans or 5.675 gallons.
I guess I may have to do a Red Beans and Rice calculator after all.

My numbers are without meat, and my numbers are from the National Bean Institute

Pretty windy up in this bean thread.
I can cook a 2 lb camellia white or red in my 7.25 quart LeCrueset and it is FULL. That may have say 3 links of sausage.
So I'm still saying 5 pounds. Not only do beans expand and you have volume in meat but no one seems to realize you have volume of liquid as well. 6 pounds and you will be at the brim and stirring hot arse white beans all over your no wax floor.
