Best Size \ Rice Amount for 7-8 people?
I have a model 400 double burner and a 15.5” carbon steel pan. I’ve been locking in my recipe preferences, and really like a thinner layer of rice - around 300g - 325g. My problem is that it’s the perfect amount for 4-5 servings.
I’d love a bigger pan for a slightly larger crowd. I think 22” is about as big as I could go with the model 400 burner. Would a 20” be more manageable, or have any upside?
Or conversely, has anyone bought a 20” and wished they had opted for a 22”?
And I would love to hear if anyone has dialed in a perfect rice amount for a larger pan. Thanks!!
