re: "Drop crawfish in and bring back to a boil...then boil for 1-5 minutes..."

I didn't see him ask about ice

I let boil for 7 mins, then try one every 3mins or so. When I feel they are cooked, I add ice and let them soak. My burner boils my pot quickly so 7 mins works for that setup

Craft or bud/Miller/colors?

Drop crawfish, bring back to a boil. add roux (microwaved), rotel and guidry's chopped Trinity. Stir in reverse seared sausage. Cut fire, then throw ice cubes at the outside of the pot to aid in cooling.

Remove crawfish, peel, then reverse sear. Eat baw.

You on point, baw, but you forgot one thing. Make sho you sprinkle the seasoning on the outside of the shells before you peel. Gotta have them dirty fingers like the lafayette baws out west

you forgot to suis vide the potatos.

Glad to see this has remained serious

This seems to be the most agreed upon method so far...do you adjust the 2 minutes for time of year and size of crawfish?

I do not.

I see steam (white smoke) and start my 2 min timer. after 2 min I cut fire and rinse outside of pot with hose water to "cut the boil". I add my frozen corn and hotdogs at this time too. (along with more liquid heat depending on the crowd)

some use frozen jugs, some ice, whatever your preference to do the same, thats up to you and what you know and how youve done it prior...

another tip Ive used is to add your extra lemon juice following the initial 5 minutes or so of soaking. Saying that the lemon juice flavor will be "boiled out" if added prior. not sure if true, but ive never had any complaints.

Once they're back to a boil, I let it roll for about 15min. Kill heat and immediately dump into ice chest. Sprinkle liberally with Tony's and serve

We are talking about white smoke

Oh I know. I rolling boil my potatoes. Which produces the white smoke steam from under the lid.

I was just pointing out that the crawfish still cook without the rolling boil. I would imagine the heat in 40 quarts of water holds pretty well. Would actually be interesting to test it out with a thermometer. If it boils at 212, I wonder what the temp is after 30 minutes of soak with no ice added
