This will almost always happen so never scrape the bottom, stay just above the burnt and fold.

it did have that ever so slight burnt taste to a few bites, but over all not bad


The result of the above. Turning the burned rice into it. I've ruined two 20 gallon pots doing this. I learned that lesson.

after it came to a real good boil, I turned my fire down real low, but apparently not low enough.

Now I know... but I'll do more, and hopefully perfect my technique!

once you add the rice, cut it to lowest flame possible. I usually kill the flame after 15 minutes, still leave the lid on for 20 minutes.
But like other said, when you first turn the rice watch you do not turn any burnt rice..

And it can be done with-out burnt rice, but takes alot of practice.

you should see this pot of red beans sitting on my stove right now.

It's beutiful, it's a work of art!


I'm taking it to work to feed about dozen people.
Red beans and rice with some smoke andouille sausage is one thing I have perfected in that dutch oven!

heypaul that banjo burner you were using puts out some serious heat. On its lowest setting mine puts out too much for a small pot like that. Maybe just finish the next one on a smaller burner or on the stove. Just a suggestion.
