: has anyone cooked in a overnite camp?I'll be cooking this summer in a camp for 350 people . Ive cooked in the past 4 years in a camp for 200 children. this job I'll be taking will be alot more pressure and a bigger menu. I would greatly appreciate some great tips and experience from someone who cooks in large quantities.I especially would need a pizza dough recipe to feed 350 .That would be around 30 trays. I also seem to have a problem with meatballs in a large pot they just all stick together, am I putting too much in the pot?ther are some other questions I have and I would greatly appreciate some help. This is a great website which I have been enjoying so much.
Message from Carl :
Do you have to make pizza dough? I know it is better, but when you multiply it so much, you just cannot physically
handle that much dough without heavy duty equipment. I would buy
a great quality frozen pizza from "Sysco"
As far as meatballs, why would you cook them in a large pot???
Cook them on sheet pans in the ovens, they will hold well in Cambros (insulated holding cabinents)
Cook your sauce in a Pot, but pour sauce over meatballs.
So, where are your other questions? When you ask, make sure you give us
the conditions of the kitchen, what kind of equipment, refrigeration is there.
Good luck
Carl
