cooking for 300
alexandra 10/25/06	im cooking for 300 i need to know how many pounds of rice , beans and macaronni salad and a meat (beef) marinated its a mexican dinner. T
ellen 10/25/06	Use the plan for 100 tables to make your first estimate, then send it in and I will check it for you. All these foods are covered.
dana 11/17/06	cooking for 350-400 I am planning a fundraiser for about 350-400 people. We are having a taco bar and nachos. We figure we will need 100# of meat. What can I expect for shredded cheese, sou cream, tomatoes, and lettuce?? Thanks in advance for your help, Dana
ellen 11/17/06	If it is regular hamburger, 100 pounds will cook down to about 75 pounds, which is 150 cups. You will have PLENTY. You could reduce by 1/3 if you offer refried beans and rice as sides. For the toppings, salsa,, etc, you use the same quantities as a baked potato bar, which is posted in Big Pots already.
Tracy 11/18/06	cooking for 200 how much do i need to purchase for 200 people spagetti/ sauce / salad/ bread amounts (lbs, oz, loafs) of each item listed above
ellen 11/18/06	Already answered. Check the lotsa pasta page and the plan for 100 page.
Denise Atkinson 10/03/07	A friend who dabbles in catering for friend's weddings has new challange. He has been asked to cook enough squash for a guest list of 300. What is the best squash to choose when preparing for such a crowd? Many of us know how to come up with a cassarole size dish but this is far cry from a serving size of 300. Hope you can help. Thanks Denise
ellen 10/03/07	A summer squash casserole is great. Basically, you need 8 9x13 casseroles for 100. The ones below can be made ahead and frozen. See these two, either of which serves 25, to use for quantities: www.ellenskitchen.com/bigpots/oamc/squash24.html
anna 02/20/08	Cooking BBQ chicken for 300 people, how many pounds of chicken would I need. (Leq quarters)
ellen 02/23/08	about 240 pounds. Chicken comes wholesale in 40 pound cases. and it takes 80-83 pounds of quarters to make 100 servings.
linda gorski 02/26/08	I am making a spinach salad for a ladies church luncheon. The plate will include spinach salad w/ toasted walnuts, red onion, dried cranberries, and white balsamic vinaigrette and a 1 cup serving of chicken salad with a croissant. The vinaigrette is a basic vinegar, olive oil, and sugar recipe. I am having trouble determining how much spinach per person and how much vinaigrette will be needed for the 300 servings. Suggestions?
ellen 02/26/08	Spinach salad takes a lot of spinach, and you MUST make sure it is very clean. For each eight plates, you need 1 cup of dressing, 3/4 to 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup nuts, pound ready to serve spinach. If you would go for a poppyseed dressing, you would be even more pleased with the interst in your salad.
frances 02/27/08	cookin baked/fied chicken, green beans / wild rice, rolls/ lemonade @ lemon cake @ cookie plus i need to make a budget for next 9 months, i have a menu just need help on planning how much food to order for the next 9 month please help

Donna 04/10/08	How many #10 cans of beans to serve 100 Serving beans with tri-tip and chicken for 1000+ at a Civil War Re-enactment, how many cans of beans do I need to purchase?
ellen 04/10/08	Donna, it takes 3 gallons , which is 4 #10 cans, plus fixings, for each 100 people. If you start from scratch, that is 8 pounds of dry beans, approximately.

G. Thomas 10/07/08	How many pounds of chicken would I need to serve 200 guests? Also how many can of stringbeans would I need for 200 guest?
ellen 10/07/08	See the plan for 100 list, choose the type of chicken (halves, pieces, quarters) you are using, double for 200. 4 #10 cans makes 1oo servings of green beans. For 2oo, I use 9. My bewtter green bean casserole is MUCH more tasty than plain canned green beans- you need 3 1/2 times the recipe to serve 200.

ellen 11/19/08	There is a whole section of potato salads for 100 with some great recipes. I allow about 35-40 pounds raw per 100 when it is the only side salad- 3 1/2 to 4 gallons per 100 prepared.
Bev 12/03/08	Cooking for 125 I'm in need of determining amounts for 125 people. Thanks Chicken quarters (baked); Macaroni and Cheese; Rice pilaf.
ellen 12/04/08	Bev, you don't say if the mac and cheese and rice are served at the same meal. Chicken quarters are covered in the plan for 100 page, you want 1 1/4 to 1 1/3 the amount for 100. I allow 10 9x13 pans of carb side dishes per 100.

Rene 01/11/09	cooking for 125 I am doing freshly squeeze lemons how many do I need and how much chicken do I need the parts are legs, wings and thighs.
ellen 01/11/09	What are the lemons for? Lemonade, marinade? You need about 75 pounds of these less meaty parts for 100 people,so nearly 100 for 125 people.
LaToney 01/21/09	She's getting married and here's the menu, Station#1:Baked Chicken breast,Rice pilaf and rolls. Station#2:Seafood Dressing/with gravy, green beans and rolls Station#3:Roast beef, roasted small red potatoes sliced and rolls. Tea and Water. To by served buffet style,the guestlist is at (300). Please help, how much food and tea will I need, and how much help must I consider getting.
ellen 01/21/09	LaToney, this is a VERY difficult estimate, especially if you have not asked for an RSVP and entree choice on the invitation, as the division of entrees is a complete shot in the dark, and with 300 invitations you may have anywhere from 150 to 400 guests. I need some additional information: What time is the wedding and the reception? Are you having the food catered or are you thinking about trying to do it yourself? This is a complicated menu for a do it yourself plan. Is there an additional table for salads, fruits and vegetables? The menus as listed are incomplete. Is there an appetizer table? What is your recipe for seafood dressing? Some are mostly seafood, others have more ingredients, and it makes a difference. Helpwise, you are looking at 4 fulltime in the kitchen, 2 servers minimum at each station PLUS 6-8 servers PER 100 guests to setup, bus/serve and cleanup the event. For the beverages, see the beverage planning tables. If you plan cake, you will probably want to add dinner coffee service to the iced tea. You are looking at at least $20 per guest for this menu.
LaToney 01/22/09	Ellen thank you for the response. The wedding time is 5:00pm and reception will at 7:00pm. There will be appetizer served will pictures are being taken. This well be done as a gift from her co-workers. My duty will be to supply or have the meal and drinks catered. My seafood dressing made with corn bread,shrimps, craw fish tails, lump crab meat, bell peppers, onions, eggs and other spice/seasoning. My wish is to do it myself as my gift to her and my new son, they love daddy's cooking. If I have to hire a company to do I at less wanted to know roughly my cost both ways.Thanks again I love your website.
ellen 01/23/09	Hi, LaToney, If it were me and I had a bit of loose in the budget, what I would do is: Make my orange chicken dijon, which can be made ahead and frozen, and stays moist on a buffet, instead of baked chicken breast. Make the seafood dressing myself. Arrange to have a catering company supply the roast beef (steamship round, medium rare, if you aren't doing fillet or prime rib), with rolls and horseradish sauce. If you are expecting 300- wish you had an RSVP- you would want about 100 chicken, 100 seafood stuffing, and 150-200 beef. The sides could be done by you, but are also usually reasonable from the caterer. Let them supply the help, setup, and take down. MAKE SURE you have it in the contract that you will be supplying certain dishes and that they do the setup and service on those. Do read the "Wedding reception menu ideas" thread and do read the wedding dinner article. If the budget does not allow, then see if there is a local culinary arts program, maybe at the junior college, and hire from there for cooks and helpers.
ellen 01/23/09	By the way, if you are willing to share the large quantity seafood stuffing recipe, I would love to post it. It sounds great.

ellen 04/29/09	Connie see the plan for 100 page at the last section for the sides. You need about 120 sandwiches for 100 people if it is self serve. 1 pound raw boneless makes 3 good buns. Turkey is the same by weight, see the turkey yield tables in the holiday cooking section at the top of big pots for the yield of various cuts of turkey.

Kimberly 06/03/09	Wedding Recption for 400 I am preparing the meal for a wedding reception/dance that 400 were invited to attend. The kids wanted to have Brisket Sandwiches, Calico Bean(which have hamburger meat in them), Potato Casserole(with corn flake topping) and then they have sheet cakes and peanuts for dessert. I visited with them and convinced them that the bean and potato combination was pretty heavy with the brisket sandwiches so I suggested the Calicobeans only with potato chips, a relish tray and a vegetable platter to accompany the sandwiches. Do you think this is suffient for an informal meal? I keep dobting myself and think I need to make either a pasta salad or a vegetable salad of some sort? What is your opinion? I have already prepared 220 lbs of brisket and frozen it, it will be served sliced for sandwiches. Do you think that is enough? I can certainly cook 4 more trimmed briskets if need be. I plan to serve Calico Beans which have pinto beans, baked beans and navy beans plus hamburger meat in them. We will also have potatoe chips, a veggie platter
Kimberly 06/03/09	Wedding Reception for 400 Sorry about the above message. The last paragraph and partial sentence should have been deleted. Thank you
ellen 06/04/09	You have plenty of meat. If it is a dinner meal, you could serve both the beans and potatoes and add a light cooked vegetable dish (grilled veggies, sqash, green beans, etc), this is more party-ish than the chips. If you do a veggie tray, consider a fruit tray instead, prettier and more popular. The relish trays are a good idea.
Carol 06/05/09	cooking for 75 How many lbs of hamburger meat do I need for 200 enchaladas?
Linda Binion 06/06/09	cooking for 60 to 75 Hi Ellen, I need to know how many pounds of asparagus do I need for 60 to 75 people. I plan to either steam or grill them. Thank you.

ellen 06/17/09	For sandwiches, 2 ounces sliced per person, for appetizer, about 3 ounces. If appetizer, consider some logs, balls or spreads as part of the weight.
Dulce 06/17/09	cooking for 200 Hi Ellen, We are having a Belizean wedding reception for 200. We are having rice & beans, turkey, ham, dressing and pibil (pig cooked underground). Also will have snacks. Receptions should start around 5;30. How many pounds should we allot for each item? thank you for your time.
ellen 06/17/09	dulce, you want about 1 1/2 pounds total edible food per person counting everything. You want 16 pounds dry rice, the same amount of beans if it is a separate dish. Use the proportionate of beans as you would for a home recipe for that much rice if it is a mixed dish of rice and beans together. Meats, since you have the other meats, the least pig you would get is about 10 ounces raw per person- if it were the only one, you would ant at least a pound. 3 ounces cooked ready to serve weight EACH per person for both the turkey and ham. Dressing, see the planning article for large holiday dinners at the top of big pots, where dressing and many other side dishes are discussed.
yoyo 06/18/09	cooking for 450 i am cookong chicken drumetts for a ceremony. how many pounds of chicken will i need?

ellen 07/07/09	Antonia, 1 pound raw for each 2 people for party size meat portions. All other items are already covered in the plan for 100 lists. Val, quantity fajitas and all the side dishes are discussed many times over on fajita and other threads, take a look. You need to add rice and beans to the menu if you do not want to go broke on the meat. You also need tortillas, not just chips.
Teen 07/07/09	cooking for 350 How many pounds of canned corn would i need to feed 350-400 people for wedding reception?
ellen 07/08/09	4 #10 cans per 100
Lisa 07/08/09	cooking for 60 How many lbs of rice and beans will I need to cook?
ellen 07/12/09	8 pounds dry each for side rice and side beans for 100, so you need about 5 pounds dry of each.
Bobby 07/14/09	cooking for 200 Can you please tell me how many brisket to serve for 200 people for a wedding. I have purchased 12 large briskets, which equal approximately 140 pounds of uncooked meat.
ellen 07/15/09	If these are well trimmed, you need 1 pound raw for each 2 people; if untrimmed, you need about 2 pounds raw for each 3 people. So you either have too much or just enough, depending on the trim.
Diana 07/20/09	cooking for 900 Need to serve 900 people at a bingo event. How many lbs of bagged corn would I need to purchase? It is for a portion for each person. We are also serving sausage and fruit.

Donna 07/21/09	Yip that's what I meant (sweet bites). But how many do I need for 300 or more people.
ellen 07/22/09	The article gives amounts per 100 with plenty of extra advice; you would use 3 times that amount.
Denise 08/01/09	cooking for 150 I'm preparing two side dishes for a Wedding Reception.How many pounds of fresh or whole frozen Green Beans, and fresh Carrots will I need to use to feed 150 guest? Thank you.

Anita 08/18/09	cooking for 250 We will be feeding 250 teachers, coaches and staff for a Teacher's back to school luncheon. We are serving baked chicken, Idaho instant potatoes, green beans, rolls, salad with ranch dressing and strawberry/chocolate cake. Please help me with how much of each to purchase. Consider LARGE portions. Thanks.
ellen 08/18/09	Can't help with the instant potatoes except to tell you that for large portions, divide what the package says it will make by 2. Chicken depends on what pieces- see the plan for 100 page, meat section for all you need to know. Add 10% if it is self serve. Green beans, rolls, and salad and dressing are covered in detail in other sections of the same page. See the beverage planning page for help with iced tea. Since you are having cake, also make the dinner portion of coffee and decaf. A full sheet cake is 18x 26 x 2 inches and will cut about 100 moderate pieces, a slab cake is 3-4 inches and serves more (depending on thickness). You might consider 2 sheets and something sugar free, like sugar-free fruit pie.
Julia 08/28/09	How many pound of pinto beans do I need to cook for 150 people?
ellen 08/28/09	As a side dish, 8 pounds dry per 100, as a larger dish,10-12 pounds per 100.

Courtney 09/09/09	At my wedding reception I'm cooking soup. How many pounds do we need?
Courtney 09/09/09	there will be 300 people
ellen 09/10/09	Hi, Courtney, Soup is usually measured in gallons, not pounds. When I am using it as a main course, I allow 12 ounces (1 1/2 measuring cups) per person, about 8 1/2 to 9 gallons per 100 people. Plus breads, side dishes, beverages and desserts, of course.

Jennifer 09/11/09	Hello Ellen, My church is doing open faced roast beed and turkey samdwiches for a ladies jubilee. We expect around 300. I have looked over your portions for 100 and let me see if I have this right. I need 30 gallons of potatoes and 13 roast and 13 trukey breast. Are I in the ballpark?
ellen 09/11/09	I would plan for 3-4 ounces thin sliced ready to eat beef PLUS 2 ounces thin sliced ready to eat turkey per person to estimate; that is 2 pounds boneless raw beef for 6-7 PLUS 1 popund boneless breast for each 4- add another 10% if it is self service. Having 2 meats you need more, and you need enough to give everyone her first choice. For your potatoes, just start with 35 pounds per 100.
