Jambalaya Calculator on Your Android Phone

Not sure what you're asking, exactly, but that would be a very full pot. According to the calc, 94% full.

What is the 12.8 amount?

What is the 12.8 amount?

The adage that a 10 gallon pot of jambalaya feeds 100 people



1 gallon = 128 oz

10 gallons = 1280 oz

Thus

1280/100 = 12.8 oz servings


IOW, according to what most people say a certain size pot will serve, it comes out to a little over a 12 oz serving, or the 1 1/2 cups entry field on the calculator. So, when people are basing their serving capacity on what people claim a pot will serve, the 1 1/2 cup serving recipe on the calculator is what they should go by if they're trying to reach that maximum number of people in that pot.

I'm not aware of that adage. I think the calculator gives a little bit better estimate.

I think a lot of these pot retailers sell that fact, that 1 gallon of jambalaya feeds 10 people, or a 10 gallon pot feeds 100 people.

I think the calculator is correct for the recipe. I'm just saying that if you have a 10 gallon pot, or one that holds 10 gallons of jambalaya, that comes out to 12.8 oz per person, so the 1 1/2 cup recipe is what you should follow if you're trying to feed 100 people out of a 10 gallon pot, or what people tell you it will feed.

Turns out, Office for Android does not allow you to open a password-protected spreadsheet, so no using it for the Jambalaya Calculator. I really don't want to unprotect it.
