Can you cook for a group of 50?

I would never be able to cook for 50 people. I rarely cook for myself and when I've cooked for 4 people before I've found it to be quite challenging. If I had 50 people who needed to eat, they better expect to be eating some pizza or other fast food!

Well just last week I was cooking for a group of 50 at church. I made a huge batch of sloppy joes. I did get help with others brining in jellos and brownies. Then I just put out some chips too. It was easy.

Perhaps the task is too great for someone like me to practice on, plus if it's going to be my partner's guests, then I'd be too tired to welcome them after all the cooking. I think I'd rather pass this one up and order instead, at least they have the capability to prepare for 50. My utensils alone can't feed 50. But we did have an experience cooking for a big batch, it took a lot of us, we were like 5 cooking and several other just helping out with the peeling and the chopping and stuff.

I agree that I can't do it. I can cook for a few peope. I will be very tensed to take up the job of cooking for 50 people and finally end up in a bad situation. I can cook for a maximum of 10 peopel...I think. As if now, the maximum number of people i have cooked for is 6 and it went out very well.

i should make a try . i keep hard to make food in a good condition for 50 people. upto now i have prepared for 20-22 people and didn;t tried for 50 people. i can do for 50 ,but somewhat scareness will be there. once after my marriage ,i have put dinner for 50 people. but with the assistance of my mother and sister. lonely i want to put for that much people ,but i should make too dareness to do. but i don;t want to order from outside. i like to put good food for my guests ,which was prepared on my own hand .

Hey it seems that you joking!!! For a group of 50 people...I dont think I could ever... A strange challenge at least to me...

Since I took food service in college I could probably cook for 50 people. I have several easy to make meal ideas that I could easily expand and have some comercial size pans for roasting or baking. Funds for the supplies would be my biggest problem. The meal might be something simple like spaghetti. I actually have enough supplies on hand and would only need a few fresh items to pull off a meal for 50. I come from a large family with 5 kids and any number of friends or dinner guests so our kitchen was home to as many as 10 on a regular basis and about 20 for holidays. I actually had to learn to make smaller portions when cooking for just myself, hubby & two kids.

you mean 50 person? yes i can do it.yes i am ready its very easy as long as i descide what to cook

I cooked for as many as 8 people in the house. It was when I was in New Delhi and we had planned to stay at our home for study. We were 8 people altogether and I was the one who was supposed to cook chapatis for them. It was a tough job because I only used to cook for 3 people every day!

I honestly say I can't do that or I would like to say I won't take the risk of doing that. It is not easy to cook a big quantity of food. If you cook so, you will be tensed about the result and it is easy to commit mistakes. So, I thik it is better to arrange a caterer. Thank you for responding to my discussion.

thats definitely beyond my power. I'm a lousy cook and I tend to make a lot of mistakes especially in multi-tasking. I'd rather hire a cook and assist than do a one-man show.

oh,that's raelly beyond my talent,I guess it is also a tough task even for a chef

Well I think I could manage such a challenge. Since I was unexpectedly placed in a similar situation. I was told I would handle the rice only for over 50 persons but was stuck with the chicken, and goat meat to prepare last minute. I was overwhelmed but rose to the challenge. I vow never again.

i love cooking and it means cooking food to large amount of people aint be that hard to do. and i love feeding people and friends, family as well, on the cooking i made for all of them. and i love cooking really specially that i am able to cook to many people. the many the merrier!!! thanks friend jhelai

I am used to cook for a crowd but of course I need an assistant to do the slicing and chopping. For 50 heads, you only need 5 kilos of meat and about 5 chickens. There should be around 5 - 6 types of dishes.
