Cooking the rice is the easiest part... wait'll you try to tackle 80

Do you have any idea what size pot you'll need to cook 15 pounds of
rice like pasta, think cooking 15 pounds of pasta... a small orca could
swim in it... think about 100 quart pot.
You've obviously never cooked more than 1 cup of rice at a time. RFC
is always hilarious when someone asks about cooking large quantities.
Please don't entertain the concept of how to handle 15 pounds of rice
after it's cooked, I wouldn't want you to have a stroke.
