I tried cooking on an electric before and the coils didnt cool down quick enough and it burnt my rice.



I take mine off the heat completely just for a while because between the cooktop and the iron, too much heat is retained. I put it back on the burner when i feel like both have cooled enough.

BTW, and this may rustle some jimmies, but adding a bit of Cajun Power Garlic Sauce with the stock really tastes good.

There's a Jambalaya Gonzales Style thread on here from years ago that I decided to change up my regular routine and try.

The OP put a shotglass of Louisiana Hot Sauce in his stock. I thought it odd, but tried it and found it gave good flavor, and really didn't seem to add a vinagery flavor, which was my main concern.

Heat pot, brown pork, remove pork, add trinity, saute' til onions are clear, return pork, season mixture.

Deglaze with a little stock making sure to scrape every wonderful bit of the gradoux off the bottom with a roux spoon (flat nosed spoon), add rest of stock and bring to rolling boil, taste, add more seasoning if necessary.

Drop in rice and bring back to rolling boil stirring frequently to prevent burning. When rice has absorbed 3/4 of the liquid, cut fire back to low simmer, stir once more, put lid on and leave alone for 25 minutes.

Cut fire, lift lid, add green onions and turn rice, replace lid and leave alone for 10-15 more minutes.

He's pretty spot on, though I only stir a few times, within 2 minutes or so of adding the rice, to insure even cooking. You'll get all the rice to "pop" this way.

Nothing wrong with that. After I add my stock I leave the lid off till the rice starts to pop (about 5 minutes) and stir frequently.

Same here


I stir my rice in the boiling liquid until it starts to float/pop.

Sometimes takes 5-7 minutes before I cover and cut the fire.

@OP, looks good, but where's the sausage?


Main thing that you and others do that I don't is removing one item from the pot to cook another.

I just keep adding

Sausage, then pork, then veggies, etc

Too much trouble to take stuff out and store it IMO

Same here. Pork first to build the fond nice and dark then onions. Liquid from onions will generally produce enough liquid to deglaze. If not I'll add small amount of stock.

But nothing ever comes out the pot.

This thread put the thought in my head:

Browned some chicken thighs, pork, and andouille sausage:





Add in the trinity:



Deglaze and cook down the trinity:



Add the meats back in:



Add rice, bring to boil, reduce heat till finished:



Finished pot:
