re: Jambalaya Rice question

Once my water is at a rolling boil, I add my rice. Then once water comes back to a boil, I cook uncovered for 7 minutes. At the end of these 7 minutes, the rice is usually jumping out of the pot and the rice has gotten so thick that the paddle will almost stand up in the middle of the pot. Cover tightly and reduce fire as low as you can go cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid run the paddle down the side of the pot to bleed the remaining water that's on top. Smooth out the rice, shut fire off and cover tightly for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and FLIP the rice (DO NOT STIR). Smooth rice and recover for 10 minutes. Ready to serve.
