Thanks!

06/02/06 		Thank you.

So if you were having 100 ppl, the quanity for 100, you would need 50 lbs of rb and 90 pounds for chicken if you were having 2 entree's?

06/02/06 		64 pounds of chicken pieces or 82 pounds of quarters (more for quarters because of the backbones) is the amount for 100 for chicken only. Ribs only is about 1 pound per person. When I have 2 equal entrees, I make 60% instead of 50% of the amount for 100, as people tend to eat more and to eat some of each. So that would be nearly 60 pounds of ribs plus 36 pounds of chicken pieces or 40 pounds of quarters (I would use pieces).

Roast at 350 for 1 hour, then turn down to 250-275 until the internal temp is just 160. This takes a variable amount of time depending on the shape of the roast, whether it was cold or room temp to start, etc. Remove from oven, let stand at least 26 minutes before slicing. Make baked apples for dessert

For an 8 pound roast I allow 4 hors start to finsh, sometimes it takes less.

04/14/07 		What is the ideal parboiling time for 4lbs of pork rib
ellen
04/14/07 		Not everyone parboils ribs. You need to decide why you are parboiling- usually to remove fat, or to tenderize larger older ribs. But it does also remove flavor. So, use a seasoned broth- such as part beer, or apple juice, or crab boil, etc. Boil (actually, though, simmer)about 10 minutes.
