If I use a whole jar of zatarans powder boil in my crawfish pot, would the pro boil translate to 1 while jar of powder in the same recipe?

I guess what I am asking is are they interchangeable or is one waaay saltier or hotter than the other.

Side question 1. Same question for Louisiana crawfish boil or slap ya momma.

Side question 2. Do you guys like pro boil? Does it taste good or funky or what.

Yes

We do whole jar of pro boil or whole bag of swamp dust plus small bottle of liquid boil

No, they're 2 different products. Pro boil will be more flavorful and a little different. I think it might even be less salt than the regular but I'm not sure.

I think pro boil sucks. I don't care for the taste and it leaves a stain in the pot and basket.

No. Pro Boil has extra clove and extra cayenne.

Stick with Chackbay or LFF

Pro boil has more flavor and 1/2 the amount of salt.

I usually use 1 bag of Louisiana and 1/2 jar of pro boil.

Comes out to the same amount of salt as just the regular zatarains but has more spices

Pro Boil is definitely less salt.

It does have less salt than the regular. I personally prefer the extra spicy zats which I believe has less salt than all three.

If I remember correctly, zats extra spicy also has less salt than Louisiana and Slap Ya Mama, but it’s been a while since I compared them.

I like creating a flavorful stock with the seasoning, a small bottle of liquid, lemons and oranges, celery, garlic, and onions. I’ve started to add extra citrus between batches to help with the salty flavor that tends to build up between batches.

Pro boil is around 450k mg salt

Reg zat is about 860k

Extra spicy about 670k

Louisiana also around 670k
