[Sca-cooks] Field Kitchen Fun

[Huette von Ahrens]

I have cooked a banquet for 300 people at a site without a real kitchen and a second
banquet the next day for the same amount of people... but it did have water spigots 
and I brought a new garden hose. The spigots were not in the area I was cooking in.  
The site did rent me with a propane grill and a large charcoal grill and a 50 
gallon propane coffee maker [I used that for a constant source for hot water for cooking 
and dishwashing. See garden hose above.] We brought tables, every pot and pan from my 
church's kitchen, a friend brought an old rv oven that ran on propane and I had a slave ... 
er... volunteer! who washed every pot and pan I brought.  It worked just fine.  Since 
then I have invested in my own propane stove, grill and oven and with bringing enough 
tables, kitchen equipment and volunteers, doing a banquet for 125 would be a breeze.  
The key is investing in advance and obtaining the right equipment.  And, no, I am not 
rich, but purchased this equipment slowly over the years when I saw them on sale.  I 
would have loaned you my equipment, but I think we live on opposite sides of the continent...
