time on riceI'm cooking jambalaya and have never cooked such a large batch. I was wondering how long I should cook the 12lbs of rice? TIA

Get your water mixture to a hard rolling boil before dropping in the rice. Then bring mixture back to a hard boil. Boil the rice until it starts to noticably get thicker (10 min? Depends on burner). Its hard to explain but thats the best I can. You will notice the rice gaining size by then. When it gets to that point boil for 3 more min and cover and cut fire down to low. Now i'm assuming you're in at least a 7 gallon pot for this and you have a banjo burner. Cut it to low and cover. DO NOT lift the lid for 20 min with fire on low. Cut fire off and lift lid and roll the rice from four points. Smear it back down smooth to seal in the steam and cover again for 10 min. It should be ready then. Hope this helps.
