I used to get it at the Leblanc's supermarket in Gonzales but they quit carrying it. This past week I sent Rouse's a message on Facebook asking them to sell it in the New Orleans area(they bought out Leblanc's supermarkets). Later that afternoon I got a message back from Rouse's telling me that the Rouse's in Prairieville has it and they had put two containers behind the customer service counter. On Friday I took the ride to Prairieville on my way somewhere else and sure enough they sell it but it's in the seafood dept. and they did indeed have two containers for me at customer service. In fact I found several things at the Prairieville Rouse's I haven't found anywhere else. Got these Brioche burger buns there as well as the Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale and they have the Yuengling Porter. They even have French Settlement sausage there. Also got Leblanc's BBQ seasoning too.

Rouses in Prairieville has it but it's not by the spices. It's usually above one of those refrigerated bins by the meat wall.

Looks like a nice pot, but man, I'd have been scared to put so much in a pot that size

I've cooked that exact recipe in this pot 7 times in the last 2 months and probably over 100 times in the last 8-10 years. I like to be as close to 100% capacity as possible when finished. That means there's about an inch and a half to the rim after the rice is added. It can be messy but I find it steams the rice better.

Here's a formula to help y'all determine the size of your pot. All measurements are in inches.

(Average radius squared) x (depth of pot) x 3.14 = Size of pot in cubic inches
(Size of pot in cubic inches) / 231 = size of pot in US gallons.

Average radius is 1/2 the average diameter. Since these are round bottom pots with slightly tapered sides, I measured the diameter slightly above the middle of the pot.
231 is cubic inches in a US gallon.

I measuresd my 20 gallon pot and came up with this:

Average diameter = 20 in so average radius is 10 in.
Depth = 14.5 in

10 x 10 x 14.5 x 3.14 = 4553
4553 / 231 = 19.71 gallons.

This is not as accurate as a fill test but it gets you very close.

If I were calculating the capacity of a vessel, that is the equation I would use, except it has a hemispherical bottom, which lowers your number. You stop depth where the hemi starts, then add the volum of the hemi portion.

Volume of top (straight walls) = (3.14 X (radius of the cylinder squared) X Depth to top of hemisphere) + ((2/3) X (3.14 X radius cubed))

where the hemisphere radius is equal to the depth of the hemisphere, which is also likely the radius of the cylinder.

If your pot does not have a true hemisphere (and it probably doesn't) the equation gets complicated.

You probably said this, but one cubic inch = 0.004329 gallons or 0.0163871 liters.

There was a time I could do these things in my head. Now I am an old fart and need a calculator, but I still know the conversion numbers.

I gave the total cubic inches in a US gallon = 231.
You multiply by your number, you divide by mine.

Y'all need to give your reasons why you think this is impossible. Is it from experience, just a hunch or an app telling you it won't work (no offence Rat).

A million people have said the calculator is spot on, yet you have used way bigger amounts than it calls for in that size pot. shite show of a thread.
