Barbecue, how to calculate?

Calculation for meat*

If the barbecue has a short or medium duration, the recommended option is:

● From 350g to 400g of meat per person

For events of longer duration the ideal is to calculate:

● From 700g to 800g of meat per person

For the amount of meat for children simply divide the quantity in half.

For coal:

For a barbecue for 4 people, for example, 6 to 8 kg of charcoal will be needed.

This means that the more people, the more coal you will need.

Rice (raw) and farofa

To calculate the side dishes you also need to think about the number of guests.

● 50 g (1 cup of coffee) per person for each food: rice and farofa

Long-term events: 100 g per person for each item

BBQ Garlic Bread

Small to medium sized events must have 1 whole loaf per person

Long-term events: 2 whole loaves per person.

● Non-alcoholic drink: 1 liter per person

● Beer: 2 liters per person

● Non-alcoholic drink: 1 liter per person
