I made it last week for the Pidun Haben of our Rabbi's grandson (for 150 people -
they invited the whole shul) and it took about 10 minutes to set up (I went home changed clothing ran an errand and came back and it was perfect).

BTW does anyone know why garlic cloves (raw) and sugar cubes are handed out at a Pidun Haben?

I allow 1 cup of raw rice for 10 people if there are alot of other side dishes being served or 1 cup raw if few sides dishes served.

Place all ingredients into 9 by 13 pan (I use deep disposables) cover very well with foil. Bake for aprox 45 minutes. This recipe multiplies well and I was able to put 3 cup of raw rice (and the appropriate proportions of other ingredients into a deep disposable pan.
