Catering my mums wedding after late caterer cancellation. Not sure where else to ask. Can someone please help with my slow cooker scaling? Thanks
The user has provided four large-scale recipes intended to yield approximately 30 lunch-sized portions each. The first three recipes are designed for slow cookers, while the fourth is a hob-based bake. For the mild beef curry, the user has combined beef, aromatics, curry paste, tomatoes, coconut milk, stock, and water in two slow cookers and will add frozen vegetables later. The cottage pie recipe involves browning minced beef with onions, garlic, wine, tomatoes, stock, water, and seasonings before slow cooking, then adding frozen vegetables and topping with mashed potatoes. The creamy chicken pasta bake recipe uses diced chicken thighs, aromatics, tomatoes, stock, herbs, spices, and Worcestershire sauce in slow cookers, with cream and pasta added after cooking, and cheese as a topping. The Mexican sausage and rice bake recipe starts with simmering sausages, onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, beans, chilli powder, stock, and water on the hob, then adding frozen vegetables, cooked rice, and cheese. All recipes are intended to be refrigerated and reheated the following day for an event. The user expresses uncertainty about the accuracy of the scaled-up quantities. They are seeking confirmation on whether the scaling is appropriate for the desired yield. The user aims for simplicity, with only reheating required on the event day, except for making rice for the curry.
