re: Boiling crawfish technique Boil in clean water

Like another poster said.. Same pricipal as using ice. If you did put seasoning in both pots you would be wasting a lot of seasoning. The crawfish doesnt absorb anything until you kill the heat. Cooler water stops the cooking process and allows the seasons to soak in. That is why you have a soaking time and the longer you soak the spicier it is. The only reason you would use two pots would be if you made a butt load and didnt have large amounts of milk jugs of water frozen or you didnt want to dilute the seasoning with ice.
