Easy with the salt, proboil has a lot in it already, also dod not see corn is it still in the freezer, I add it when i turn the fire off and start soaking, I hate chewy overcooked corn



ETA: Now I see the corn

Looks like you are on the way for a great day

Another trick i do is to use the mesh bag the lemons come in to put the mushrooms in, that way they are easy to find and dont get torn up too much

haven't read the entire thread so not sure if it's been mentioned, but i like to throw in whole bulbs of garlic then eat the cloves whole.

Everyone has their own boiling method, and some people purge with and without salt, whatever....but I have NEVER heard from ANYONE that salt kills the crawfish. I always purge with salt and have never seen them "instantly die."

This. No fricking way it kills the crawfish.

Crimson, turned out pretty good for your first batch..Thanks for the beer and vittles, and the clothes.. I'll pick up my rubber boots and help get the mud out of your pool next week...

For your potatoes and whole garlic heads, put them in the cold water when you first fire up the pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes and then add your crawfish. They be done when your first batch is ready.
