Lodge sale at Bass Pro and a question on size. 5-19-11

Postby Darren » Thu May 19, 2011 9:22 am

I've been waiting for a sale to get some CI and now is the time.

What size DO would I need if I wanted to feed 35 people chili or sloppy joes?

Sloppy joes I'd guess 1/2 a cup per sandwich. Does that sound about right?

I can't judge distance either. :lol:

Thanks,
Darren

Most of us will tote a 12" as it's real practical for pizzas (if you don't have the limited edition pizza oven) and works well for liquid type eats for a large group. It's also large enough to do up biscuits or cinnamon rolls or bread baking. Not too big that it's a hassle to handle. Just my opinion. Doug

Looks like 2 12" ers and a 14" brim full just might do the job !

I often use my 12 & 14 in combination to feed larger groups. You could always press a lidded skillet into action as well ! I have 2 very large chicken friers that each hold almost as much as a 10" D.O.

If space is not an issue I would use a 14". If you want a more practical DO for all the times you don't have a big group get a 12" deep. Most recipes are for 12" anyway.

Darren,
We have a 12 and two 10" ovens. We always seem to go to the 12" most of the time. As a matter of fact we are making a new peach dumpling recipe in it right now. I still want to get the 8" for fun.

Darren....if it's just a once in a while thing....maybe a stock pot might work better for Chili and Sloppy Joes. Much lighter to carry and you can get the volume you need, for much less. Doug
