re: Beans in 5 gallon pot

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.

So, a 5 gallon pot will not hold 15 pounds of dry beans when cooked but it would technically hold 13 pounds without any meat
