Reheating jambalaya?
Posted on 1/9/16 at 2:49 pm

Quick question. Using the jambalaya calculator which is one of the most awesome tools ever.
Anyway, cooking for about 15 adults for tomorrow. I've always cooked the same day as eating, but I'd rather go shoot some guns in the morning instead of cooking. Decided to cook tonight.
What would be the best way to reheat this amount?
TIA

Under no circumstances should you ever cook jambalaya for guests the night before. There are ways to reheat it where it will still keep some of its taste, but it never ever ever ever tastes anywhere near as good reheated as it does fresh. If you can't cook it the day of, don't cook jambalaya. If you must cook the night before, consider something like Gumbo instead.

This was asked on the board a while back. I think the consensus was to reheat tightly covered in the oven. You will lose some flavor, though.
Glad you like the calculator.

Guess I'll cook tomorrow.
Thanks again.
Yes, the calculator has been awesome. Used it to cook for around forty people for my son's first birthday. Never cooked anything other than crawfish for that large of an amoutn. Worked out great.

What about cooking it right up until you need to add the rice, chill it overnight, the. Reward and finish?

That would work well, still take about an hour to cook tomorrow and have a good hot product

Yep, you can cut the time easily.

Prep everything ahead of time,Nothing left to do but stir the pot.
Thats what I do anytime I am cooking jambalaya on site.
