I use Uncle Ben's, seems to always give me a consistent result. Nice individual rice grains, good presentation. I have heard that Zatarain's also has a par-boiled rice that has a better flavor than Uncle Ben's. Have not tried it yet.

BTW, if you are on a low-card diet, the par-boiled rice like Uncle Ben's has most of the starch and carbs removed in the processing.

I use the Zatarain's because it is the same as Uncle Ben's and is Louisiana rice and cheaper. Taste the same to me. I can't make a gumbo with regular long grain to save my arse although I use long grain Mahatma for just about everything else.

My wife makes a good jambalaya in the oven. She has a big MagnaLite oval roaster and it serves about 20. Not sure how to brown it, I just stir the rice in the meat and vegetables for a couple three minutes prior to adding my stock. Browns a little. I won't use liquid smoke or kitchen bouquet. Gives me heartburn.
