Just speculating here:

Did you have enough water to cook the rice? (at least 2X water to rice).

Did lid fit tightly? Some people wrap the lid-to-pot-seam with a wet towel or tin foil to help seal it - maybe even put a brick on the lid.

Did you keep it hot enough long enough after putting rice in Jambalaya. Need to get a good rolling boil when you put the rice into the pot until it (rice) cracks.

Did your wife come by and remove the lid to "Take a Peek" while you were going after another beer?



Has anyone been messing with your MoJo?

This is very important. As he said get it to a rolling boil. Cast iron will hold a lot of heat and if you heat the pot up enough you can almost turn off the fire while the rice cooks (some do it this way, I just turn down to simmer).
