We used this the other weekend after a fishing tournament down in Hopedale, La. Everything went perfectly! Thanks for making this!

Is this still available anywhere? the original link isn't working. Trying to make a jambalaya while I'm sitting around, and have loved using this in the past

I have to say thanks for this calculator too. I downloaded it quite a few years ago and had never ended up using it. Decided to finally do it yesterday and it turned out great. I have a complicated history with cooking rice well and this turned out great. I even got the rice to split like it talks about. The caveat here being i didn’t grow up with LA food so great is likely relative here. I will say doing this in a 5.5 qt Dutch oven was all my old hot plate type stove could handle in terms of getting a good hard boil going. Thanks again!!
Also, I dont know if I've done this picture right but here's my try

Just wanted to say thanks to the stadiumrat for this calculator. I grew up on jambalaya but hadn't ever made any for my family. Outside of the Tony's boxed version, my family hasn't experienced any. I had a 5.5qt so picked the 6qt and 90% full. Honestly didn't measure my meats but had a decent idea of how much I was putting in. Everything turned out great.
Literally every family member came back and filled their plates with 2nd's. Which doesn't happen often for home cooked meals.
I didn't have any pork (temple pork) to put in and brown so my color wasn't what it should be. So next time I guess I'll cut a few hunks off a butt before I smoke it to get some pork meat. They don't sell temple meat here in Georgia that I know of. Other than that, spot on. I appreciate you sharing this. I bet for huge groups it's a life saver. My wife took a picture when all the stock got put in, and totally didn't think of posting a finished picture because she was too busy eating it.
Edited to say I used chicken thighs and local spicy sausage for my meats.

Question about the calculator. I am trying to scale my recipe from a large Dutch over to a 150 service pot to cook for 1350 people next week.
My current recipe is
1 Large pack Double D Mild Sausage (3Lbs)
1 Large Pack Double D Hot Sausage (3Lbs)
4 Chicken Breast
8 cups of low sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
3 Tablespoons of Louisiana Hot Sauce
4.5/5 cups of Zatarans rice
4 Large white Onions
4 Bell Peppers
1 bag of celery stalk hearts
2 Tablespoons mince garlic
1 bunch of green onions
How can I enter this into the calculator for it to come out right for scaling?

How big is "a large Dutch oven"?
Posted on 4/14/20 at 5:03 pm to Stadium Rat
To be honest, I'm not sure. It was a hand me down. If I had to guess 10/12 quart.
I typically double the recipe when I cook in my 5 gallon, and have a few inches remaining in the pot.

Well, I think you need to study the ratio section. Some of those are by amount per gallon, some are amount per cup of rice, etc.
Second, find out the capacity of your base pot.
Realize the calculator only calculates up to 25 gallons. From there you'll have to scale up.

You can use Boston Butt in the place of temple meat, its not as good but it works. I pick up a pack of country style ribs and cut them into bite size pieces.

Still the only smartphone app I've ever paid for 
Posted on 4/25/20 at 3:21 pm to Stadium Rat
Is there an app for iPhone users, or just android? I’m not seeing an app in the Apple App Store.
