Cooking for a Crowd: 5+1 Tips and Tricks for Cooking in Bulk for a Large Dinner Party

When it comes to cooking for large groups of people, proper preparation and the use of the right cookware can make the process much easier and more efficient. Whether it's a family meal, a party, or an event, here are some tips and tricks to tackle cooking for crowds and impress your guests.

1. Choose the Right Cookware: 

When cooking for many people, opt for large capacity cookware such as big pots, pans, and trays. This will help you prepare larger quantities of food with less hassle. Our Die-cast aluminium multifunctional roaster FUNTZIO with 5 layers of nonstick stone coating is the ideal cookware for you. The new generation of high quality cookware FUNTZIO, will make cooking easier. Use the multifunctional roaster also as a casserole, or just the lid as grill plate according to your needs.

2. Organize Your Space: 

The kitchen is a creative space at home, where organization is essential.  Before you start cooking, make sure you have enough space in your kitchen to work comfortably. Clear your workspace and organize the ingredients and utensils you'll need. With Nava's Misty 3 tier foldable rolling storage cart, you can have both an organized yet stylish kitchen, that inspires you to create in it. 

It features 3 storage carts and a folding frame, made of steel with an antioxidant coating that protects against corrosion and a matte finish. The carts are perforated for better food ventilation.

3. Prepare Your Ingredients: 

Before you begin cooking, prep all your ingredients. Chop vegetables, meats, and other ingredients into smaller pieces for quicker and more uniform cooking. Use the bamboo cutting board Terrestrial by NAVA to chop herbs, fillet or tenderize meat, cut fruits or vegetables. Alternatively, you can use it as a serving platter on a special occasion.

The cutting board is necessary for the preparation of any cooking recipe, as it allows you not only to keep the countertop clean and undamaged from scratches but also to protect the blades of your knives.

4. Use the Right Temperature:

Ensure that your oven or stove is set to the correct temperature before you start cooking. This ensures even cooking and avoids the risk of foodborne illness. It sounds silly but really it can make all the difference!

5. Mind Cooking Times: 

When cooking large quantities of food, pay attention to cooking times and temperature. Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of your dishes. We recommend using our digital cooking and meat thermometer "Acer" with BBQ fork.

6. Serve with Style: 

Once the food is ready, serve it with style. Use beautiful serving dishes and garnish your plate with fresh herbs or lemon. The serving of delicacies and desserts becomes even more impressive. Unique designs on plates, salad bowls, platters, cutlery but also mugs, cereal bowls and kid sets for our little friends are made by NAVA and will excite your guests!

We recommend NAVA’s Terrestrial porcelain serving collection. An excellent choice both for the festive table and all formal occasions as well as for everyday use. Check out all serving collections and dishware.

With these tips and tricks, you can cook for large groups of people with ease and success. Enjoy cooking and sharing your food with your loved ones, with the help of NAVA cookware and kitchen utensils.
