We are doing a backyard contest/festival in a couple of weeks, and we were looking at doing Smoke Pork Loin Sandwiches. We have a bakery here that will give us a good price on french rolls that are just a bit bigger than slider buns. We're looking at about a 2 ounce slice on a roll with their choice of barbecue sauces (Sauces in squeeze bottles for them to choose from)
Sounds funny - but I can't find any real good estimates for pork loin shrinkage. Just from what I've done I'm thinking it's about 20%. What have you experienced? Looking at serving 400 (recommended by the festival) so I'm thinking a total of 7 pork loin @ 8 lb average weight. Sound reasonable?
Any input appreciated.
