Soaking is not a myth.

You boil in plain water...once frothy you cut heat, then remove after a minute. Pull the basket and put the basket in a separate pot of heated seasoned water (was boiling not long ago, because vegetables were done in there) and soak these crawfish for thirty minutes.

Better than any other crawfish I have had.

I don't have a problem with this. It's a bit more work but you get the same result in the end. This is kind of our method for shrimp because of the extremely short cooking time.

As long as you aren't pouring seasoning on the shells to hide the fact that you screwed them up to begin with, you're fine by me.

You cool the pot, I boil for less time but keep them in the same water. No big deal.
