Had a sack leftover and plan to boil it today. Can I re use the seasoned water or is there some kind of spoilage I have to worry about.
Thanks

I can’t imagine any organism being able to survive in crawfish water.

Boiling will kill anything harmful

Agree with the above. Between the salt and boiling you should be fine. We all reuse grease all the time.

yes but leave it covered overnight to keep bugs out and be sure to preboil it to a rapid boil for at least 5 minutes to kill any bacteria that might have formed. do that before doing anything with it and you are good.

I can’t imagine there would be anything that would grow overnight in the pot that would be worse than the swamps that the crawfish are coming from.
I think you’ll be fine.

Boiling does not kill certain spores that bacteria may have produced. That being said, I think the risk of spores is almost null, but it is something that exists.

If you’re adding vegetables and/or fruit to the boil, you are introducing more bacterial possibilities. They may breakdown and decompose in the warm water. Your pot is going to stay hot for multiple hours which is a huge risk. Again, in this scenario, I don’t think the risk is high, but it exists.

Why would you even want to reuse the water? It sounds nasty. Just buy a new sack of seasoning and start fresh.

Not worth the risk IMO. A fresh pot of water and seasoning will cost you what, $15 and 20 minutes of time?

Peas Porridge hot, peas porridge cold. Peas Porridge in the pot, nine days old.

Folks died young, for unknown reasons, back then.

I agree with Gris and the others who said, "I wouldn't use it."
