Pulled Pork Serving Question

[lowcountrygamecock]

I am trying to feed leftover pulled pork to a group of 30 Friday night. We have two of the small foil trays from Sams rounded over with pulled pork. Also have a big tray of corn off the cob and two small trays full of baked beans. Not worried about the beans or the corn but will 2 trays packed full be enough for 30? We usually serve about 1/4 lb each on sandwiches for this group. They're pretty heavy but I have no idea how many lbs are in one of those pans. Thoughts?

Do you have a scale?

Are you referring to 2 1/2 size chaffing pans? A full size chaffing will usually feed about 35 to 40 people.

I think the pans are 9 x 13

A full size pan is 12" by 20" and is from 21/2" deep to 4" deep

If nothing else, give them a weigh on the bathroom scale.

A half size pan (what I think you are describing) will hold about enough pulled and finished pig to feed 12-15 people. If they’re hungry, it might only do 10. A little apple juice goes a long way if you have to keep it warm over sterno....

That is before you eat it.
