BBQ and pulled pork calculator
Choose how many guests will have pork. Adults and children use the same 6 oz cooked portion unless you edit it.
How we worked this out
- A meal portion often runs 1/3 to 1/2 lb cooked meat. The 6 oz default is within that range.
- Texas A&M AgriLife, Food Safety at Potlucks: Keep hot food at or above 140 F. Refrigerate safe perishables within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90 F. Discard food left out longer.
How the estimate works
Cooked portions are divided by each meat's yield. Buns and bun packs round up.
Ask your butcher about the cut and expected yield. Keep hot food at or above 140 F.
