Sous vide for 72 hours and then sear in rolling crab boil.

Make sure to purge it with salt first, I’m sure that’s the secret.

I have.
Twice.

Came out delicious both times.
Took around 45 min though.
Super salty, obv.

Never a butt. Done quite a few loins, chickens, even turkeys like this.

I'd cube it or use a thermal probe to pull at 196.

No that sounds disgusting. A turkey comes out pretty good though.

There was a guy on the OB that threw a few squirrels in once. Said they were terrible IIRC.

I've thrown in some alligator steaks before and they were tasty, just eat them quick before they get tough.

I thought we stopped boiling meat in the 40s.

you are overthinking this, if you want the crawfish boil flavor then marinate the butt in a bag with the boil seasoning you like, then bake it as normal.

trying to boil it is gonna make the meat tough

Sounds great until I start thinking about all the dirt and junk in the water from boiling the crawfish.


and you cant do the butt first because all that grease will mess with the crawfish flavor, so it has to be done separately with new water

No, but I just boil my crawfish with my Boston butt, just throw the crawfish in the pot and smother it down. Can do it in the oven or on the stovetop. Black pot works the best.

Just make sure to soak it for 30 minutes when you’re done



Soak till it sinks. Probably better to do the salted cracker method
