as we all know, to soak you need to stop the cooking process so the water must be cooled down and the best way to soak and speed the process up without diluting your flavor is to lift the basket out of the pot and I lean it at a 45 angle and leave it sit there on top of the pot to cool off for 5 minutes and this also lets the water in the pot cool down enough for soaking. then I drop the basket back into the hot water and since the bodies are warm while the water is still hot but not boiling. as we all know, heat travels from warm to cold so the bodies literally such up the hot seasoned water and fill with it. then I let it soak for 10-15 minutes before serving.
I cut mine after 2 minutes then toss the corn in and give it a nice stir along with spraying the pot. I came across and wanted to hear yalls opinion on this method.

Fill a couple 2-liter soda bottles the night before and throw them in after you shut the fire off. Just don't try milk jugs, the cap won't stay on.

No, I just cut my fire immediately after it comes to a boil and then let them soak. No spraying, ice, etc...

Not saying it doesnt work, but I'm not doing it.
People over think this boiling crawfish thing.

Five minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time for cooling to take place - both the bugs and water. That's a lot of mass sitting over a steaming pot of liquid. I know when I cut the burners on my homebrewing setup, it takes a good 15 minutes of whirlpooling to get down to about 180. It would take a good while if I didn't stir.

That sounds like someone who's never had properly cooked crawfish - you know, the kind that isn't mushy, so that it peels efortlessly.

When someone posts on the Internet and says "I know that ..." or "as we all know ...", they are almost always wrong.
