With a lot of loving help from my friends, I made Jambalaya for 120 men last night. It's quite different cooking for a crowd like that. I thought we had it all worked out, but there was one thing that surprised me.
Stirring a huge pot of Jambalaya is impossible. We could turn it over a little bit, but really stirring it after we added the rice couldn't be done. Once the rice began to swell, you could forget about doing much of anything with it.

Wow. That's a lot of jambalaya.
If you're going to do this a lot, maybe you need one of these:

(assuming you've got about $10,000 just burning a hole in your pocket, that is)
Now that's what I'm talking about! My idea was more along the lines of an auger on the end of a backhoe arm.

Smaller batches?
ligenus, the problem with smaller batches was that we were out of big pots and burner space. There was another option - large, rectangular warming bans, but I chose to go with the massive pots because I wasn't sure the rectangular ones had sufficient volume.
