quote:Check out the second one. It includes the salt. I guess everything else would need to be ground down to make a powdered mix.
thanks rat, that is the recipe to recreate the crab boil bags so that's a great start and very helpful
ETA: My bad, I left out the spice mix! This goes with the 2nd recipe I posted above.
Crab Boil
¼ cup yellow mustard seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons dill sprigs
2 tablespoons whole allspice
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. On a large square of cheesecloth or muslin, pile mixture in the center. Bring cloth up and around mixture; secure with kitchen twine like a sachet.

what I want to do is be able to mix up batches as I need it and save money.
I often will boil a hamper of crabs about average of 3 times a month from may through January weather permitting to catch them, and it gets pricey buying liquid crab boil at $8 for and 8oz bottle and the bags cost near about $1 a piece plus salt. when you throw in the cost of potatoes corn hot dogs etc. it gets up around $25 just for the stuff to boil with
if I can cut those costs in half and make my own mix "as needed" then that would be a great help and probably even taste better too
