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.
The part in bold says you know better than 95% of the posters in here

I refuse to believe the seasoning on the shells method can be "done right". Been horrible the times I had it.
Sometimes you have to be a dick at the boil or and take over. Will be doing the boiling tomorrow because this group has screwed up their crawfish before. too each their own.
The only thing that pisses me off truly about crawfish is when there are about six kids at a boil, and the person boiling makes them mild purposely "so the kids can have some". Then the little bastards eat about a pound combined and now everyone has to eat shite crawfish.
