jambalaya in nesco roaster

02/28/11 		Hi Ellen: Thanks for the advice on the bread pudding. I'm also doing your jambalaya for our shelter mardi gras meal. I'm running short on oven space and am wondering if I can do your jambalaya recipe in 18 quart Nesco roasters. I have 3 of them; I'm doing 120-40 servings. I'm thinking: make broth and everything else ahead as you suggest. Mix cooked ingredients with raw rice day of service and put in roaster. Heat broth and pour over. Cover and cook and hour or so. Think it can hold a couple of hours? Thanks!!!
