Serious question... what is so bad about parboiled rice? I'm a rookie so I typically use it just to make my life a little easier, but I still think it tastes delicious.

I'm already ducking by the way.

had similar challenge in cooking the rice. I put it into oven save dish (large pan) and baked it for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Came out perfect. Tried to cook in a large aluminum pot and had to keep stirring to get the top to cook and the bottom not to burn.

IMO, parboiled rice doesn't seem to split open and soak up all the yummy flavors of the dish, which in something like jambalaya, is kind of the whole point of the rice. It's almost like the parboiled rice is coated with the essence of the dish, but the flavor never gets embedded in it.
