About 2/3 a cup of dry pinto beans will result in one pound of cooked pinto beans. One pound of dry pinto beans = 2 cups of dry beans = 6 cups of cooked pinto beans 2 cups of cooked beans = about 16 ounces = one pound of cooked beans
Harvest the pods when they are dry and brown and the seeds have dried and hardened. This is about 90-100 days from planting and before the pods have split. break open the pods and you have dried beans. Freezing beans for 4 hours before storage will kill any bugs of diseases.
To serve pinto beans as a side dish for 400 people, you typically need about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cooked beans per person. This translates to approximately 1/8 to 1/6 cup of dried beans per person, which is about 50-67 pounds of dried pinto beans in total, considering that dried beans roughly triple in weight when cooked. Therefore, you should plan for around 60 pounds of dried pinto beans to adequately feed 400 people as a side dish.
To determine the amount of pinto beans needed for 100 people, we must consider the typical serving size and the weight of a pound of pinto beans. A standard serving size of cooked pinto beans is around 1/2 cup, and a pound of dried pinto beans yields about 6 cups when cooked. Therefore, for 100 people, assuming each person consumes one serving, you would need approximately 17 pounds of dried pinto beans (100 servings ÷ 6 cups per pound).
I have never seen pinto beans spoil in less than a period of about two hours however in my years of cooking you would have to leave them out of the refrigerator for several hours before they would began to spoil. Beans are a staple food in the South and they would have to stay out all night in some cases before spoilage would sat in however If I intended on selling the beans to the public I would follow the 2 HOUR RULE and just cook a fresh pot.
