re: Anyone Use Crawfish Boil to Flavor Up Beans?

A little liquid would work okay, but I definitely wouldn't use the dry. I you do, don't use more than the salt amount and pepper amount you would normally use. There's a lot of heat in a small amount of dry. Same with the liquid on the heat.

I use some liquid in the boil for potatoes that I parboil before I roast them. Parboiling makes them very creamy in the middle. I don't do it all the time, though, and usually as a side for seafood or fish.
