How many lbs of canned corn will feed 300 people?

Answer 1

four gallons of corn

Answer 2

Depending of serving size 3oz 25 pounds 4 oz servings 33 pounds this would be for kernel corn, if ears are to be used each ear typically is 8 to 10 oz and can be cut in half to serve 2 people so at most for ears your looking at 40 pounds of corn on the cob remembering of course much of the weight is waste of the cob it's self. If ears are to be used add 25 percent for greenage and stalk and we are up to an average of 49 to 50 pounds of corn on the cob for 130 people. hope this helps, Glenn

Answer 3

This would depend on what KIND of corn you are serving. If it is on the cob (or ears of corn) you would figure one ear per person, adding several additional, for back up. If you are speaking of whole kernel, creamed corn, or shoe peg corn, the typical serving size is 3-4 ounces per person. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which would mean you would need 66-88 pounds of corn to feed 350 people.

Answer 4

figuring 4 - 5 oz/person (a generous half cup), you'll need about 25 pounds for 80 servings. all depends on how prepared.
