re: Cooking Smaller Portion of Jambalaya in Smaller Pot

I've made half full pots with no issue before. As long as you have a properly fitting lid, shouldn't be an issue.

His wouldn't be half full, his would be 1/4 full. 5 pounds of rice would be needed for 30-40 people. A 20 gallon pot will cook 20 pounds of rice (or more).

You're talking 15 gallons of empty space. I think it will work, but I cannot guarantee being I've never done it. I've done half pots and they work fine.
