When There’s No Lid

Originally written in 2019

I volunteered to cook for a youth camp, feeding 78 youths and 21 adults.

That meant cooking for 99 people — and suddenly my normal kitchen logic no longer applied. 😂

The only pot big enough for the mass cooking didn’t have a lid.

So I did what any resourceful cook would do.

I looked around, found a wok that was roughly the right size, turned it upside down and decided:

Congratulations. Today, you’re a lid.

When you’re cooking for 99 people, you don’t always need the proper equipment.

Sometimes you just need something that works. 😂
