Roughly 25 cups if you use a 2-1 stock to rice ratio.

Search "poche jambalaya calculator" download it and use that as a guide

The 2 cups of water for each cup of rice is good if you are cooking just rice in a pot.

If your meat/veg. stock has some water in it, you should cut back some on the water. You can always add a little water, if needed, toward the end of cooking the rice.

If you put too much water then you will have "boil" the rice longer and over cook it. This will make the rice mushy.

Cooking time for the rice is 18 to 20 minutes.

I use 2 to 1 ratio with medium grain rice and it always comes out right, no matter how big a pot I cook. I've cooked as little as 1lb up to 12lb of rice at a time. I always cook as much of the liquid (juice) out as I can before adding rice. That way I have an accurate measurement of liquid.
