Black Pot Cook off Rules

The Southwest Louisiana Association of REALTORS® Community Involvement Committee

1. The 2025 Southwest Louisiana Association of REALTORS® Community Involvement Committee Black Pot Cook-Off will be open to all registered entries. Entry fees must be collected by the day of the cook-off.

2. Participants will compete in the preparation and completion of a dish. All dishes must be cooked in a Cast Iron pot.

3. Cooking stove and fuel, (Coleman type or similar) propane or white gas recommended for use in preparation of your entry. If you are cooking over a burner, you must bring a fire extinguisher.

4. Cooking onsite the day of the cook-off: All cooking must be done in open view, and nothing pre-cooked will be allowed. Only ingredients may be prepared prior to the cook-off (e.g., marinating, smoking, chopping, seasoning). No fully or partially cooked food items are permitted before the event begins.

***If you are preparing a dish that typically includes side items (such as rice for gumbo, potato salad, or similar), you may pre-cook these side items. However, only the main dish will be judged, and side items will not be considered in the judging process.

2. There may be access to electricity, please bring your own extension cord.

3. Any beef, poultry, or pork, along with dairy products must be maintained at the proper storage temperatures until prep time begins.

4. All food preparations and cooking will be completed in the designated “pit area.” This will be lined off to accommodate the cooking teams.

5. Black Pot is mandatory.

6. You must bring your own tables and chairs for cooking, prep, and seating if needed. You generally have a 10' x 10' cooking area. One 10x10 canopy is allowed per team.

7. Promotional items are welcome but are optional.

8. There will be 1 box provided to you with a number on each cup symbolizing identification of your entry. Please verify this number when your booth is visited (very important).
