Cooking some red beans and rice with andouille. Contemplating throwing some boil in there. Not sure how it will taste. Anyone try it? How much boil seasoning you think I will need for 2 lbs of beans and andouille? About 1/2 cup?

I would proceed carefully, you may end up with a salty mess.

I hope you have EMS on speed dial, maybe two tbsp.


ETA if doing it get liquid and 2 capfuls are sufficient for the job along with Tonys.

I love the taste of boiled shrimp, crabs and crawfish as well as the corn and potatoes that go with it.....but that is the end, I do not like crab boil taste with anything else....but to each his own

I put a couple of capfuls of liquid crab boil in my white bean soak water (along with the usual seasoning) for our recent jambalaya cookoff (7# of beans) and had several of the judges tell me they were some of the best they had ever tasted.

I put a cap full of liquid boil to my potatoes when boiling them for mashed potatoes.

A little liquid would work okay, but I definitely wouldn't use the dry. I you do, don't use more than the salt amount and pepper amount you would normally use. There's a lot of heat in a small amount of dry. Same with the liquid on the heat.

I use some liquid in the boil for potatoes that I parboil before I roast them. Parboiling makes them very creamy in the middle. I don't do it all the time, though, and usually as a side for seafood or fish.
