Anyone have tips for a Spaghetti this big? Looking at cooking in a 10gallon cast iron pot.

Big question is how do u cook the noodles? One the side or same pot?

Whatever you do, don't cook it the same as you would a 5 gallon spaghetti. Don't ask me how I know

How much are you actually trying to cook? You can't cook 10 gallons of spaghetti in a 10 gallon pot

Are you trying to make a pastayala or something? We might be able to help if we had a clearer idea of what you're trying to achieve

It's just chili with less meat

Yes. I’ve cooked plenty in large pots.

Noodles need to be cooked in a crawfish pot. They are heavy as fawk when you pull it up, so be warned. And the water coming out of the crawfish basket can burn your legs. It’s best to cook in smaller batches if you’re cooking a lot.

1 pound of spaghetti feeds 7 supposedly, so I figure 1 pound for every 5 people when doing my calculations.

Per Mother Google



While you can technically cook tomato sauce in cast iron pot, it's generally not recommended to simmer a tomato sauce for a long time in cast iron due to the acidity of tomatoes which can strip the seasoning from the pan and potentially impart a metallic taste to your sauce; if you do cook tomato sauce in cast iron, make sure your pan is well-seasoned and only cook for a short period of time.
