Any of you have experience doing 500+ pound batches? How do you adjust recipe from doing 1-2 sacks at a time. Just keep ratios the same or is there a different approach?

Doing a large boil in a couple weeks and have a rig available to use that can handle up to 700lbs at a time.

I couldnt imagine doing a huge batch in a new big rig like that without watching somebody else do it first

Bruh….have been doing it for years right here in Baton Rouge and never had one complaint.

Did 300# in the pouring rain yesterday and sold every one.

I’ll try your recipe next time. Also, you should read the ingredient list.

When in doubt taste your water. you want it slightly over seasoned. Have some cayenne and other seasonings on stand by and adjust to taste.

To each his own, but... why? Why Worcestershire on crawfish? Just no, bro, no.

Because it has flavor. Again, read the ingredients list of it first bro.

Garlic
Shallots (those are onions)
Sugar
Salt
Molasses
Tamarind
Malt vinegar
Anchovies
As well as other spices.

A lot of things have flavor that I don't want in my crawfish.

Hey Baw .... I'll pass on my crawfish tasting like anchovies (worcestershire sauce)

FYI - Tiger Sauce has great flavor and spices, doesn't mean it needs to be added to a crawfish boil. 6 of the 8 ingredients listed in WS are also in TS

TS ingredients ... Cayenne Peppers, Sugar, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Salt, Crushed Red Peppers, Xanthan Gum, Chili Peppers, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate (To Preserve Freshness), Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Tamarind Extract, Natural Flavor (Contains Anchovy), Oregano, Cumin, Garlic Powder. Contains Fish.

Tiger Sauce is a condiment that is rarely COOKED with, ws a different story. Flavors mellow out when boiled. You guys dump red wine directly on your steak or make a reduction with it? Lol

I pretty much only use it that way

I don't put red wine on my steak either way. Much in the same way worcestershire sauce goes nowhere near my crawfish.

To each his own right?


Yeah red wine reductions aren’t popular and widely used as a beef topping. Lol

Odd take since you seem incapable of accepting not everyone shares you preferred crawfish recipe

Popularity and wide use drive what's good now? Guess your crawfish recipe isn't good since you don't stick with the popular recipe.

Not really, was just trying to give you some insight. And someone specifically asked why?

Something thats widely used and popular is usually a sign.


Won Crawfete a few years back with that recipe and placed 4th in the King Cooker competition downtown the same year. Have been pretty successful since then.

Have a good one.

I'm not here to dump on you at all. I'd actually love to try them. Worcestershire is a pretty potent condiment so I'm having trouble wrapping by brain around a 1/2 gallon of that stuff not taking over the taste. I really would love to try them. Do you do any commercial sales anywhere?

You can argue your recipe all you want.

You don’t put Worcestershire in crawfish boils. It’s just that simple.
