Question
Hi,
I have a 3 part question - a/ how much potassium sorbate should I put in 8.9 pounds of fudge. b/ should I use the powder of liquid form of sorbate. c/ will this keep my texture and taste for more than 4 weeks?? Thank you in advance for you help

Huh? I'm a chef whose pantry doesn't contain a jar (or tube?) of potassium sorbate. Fudge to me has few ingredients, non with more syllables than Choc-late, and they don't usually sit around my house for more than a day or two. LOL
I'm assuming the reason you're asking is for commercial production. This might be one for the food scientists, I'm sorry it's out of the area of my expertise.

I'd be glad to answer your questions about how basic cooking methods apply equally to cooking for two in your home, or 1000 for an event. Please don't ask me how much to order from the caterer or deli. That's up to them to consult you on. If you are doing the actual cooking, I can help. My expertise is in cooking for more than 100 people. Your questions concerning cooking methods, amount to purchase, portioning, strategies for food service, and food safety for large production are welcomed. There are plenty of recipe websites on the internet. Please don't ask me for recipes. I don't believe in written instructions for cooking anyway. The more information you give while asking your question, the better response I can give. "How do I feed 100 people at my daughter's wedding?" is too broad of a question. "If I plan to offer chicken and beef for 100 people, how much chicken should I purchase?" is a better question. Visit my website at http://www.WebCookingClasses.com
