Onions and hot dog technique in crawfish boils.

Onions cook a lot better if you cut them in half


I haven't done hot dogs but I imagine during soaking is enough to heat them just fine

I peel and score the onions and they go in right after the seasoning and the lemon, right before the garlic and potatoes, so right after i light the burner.

I can't remember doing hot dogs myself but I add smoked sausage at flameout, loose, and let it soak with the crawfish. I also add the artichoke at this time. I do not add ice to the water so they soak 20-30 minutes in hot water.

Do you put the onions in a boil bag?

Do they come apart everywhere? When exactly do you put them in? Right after potatoes?

Cut large onions in half. Smaller onions I will leave whole and cut both ends off.


You should try throwing a bag of pearl onions in the pot. They are awesome and not as messy to eat as the large yellow onions.

Take them out of bag and cut them loose. I throw them in from the start.
Hot dogs I usually put in right before crawfish. You don't want to cook those long at all. And loosely. They're fine to be mixed in. I actually prefer it

I would do hot dogs and sausage separate

It can make the boil very greasy and crawfish are perfect as is
