re: I thought I’ve Seen It All Boiling Crawfish Until Yesterday

He would boil the crawfish for a couple of minutes in a large crawfish pot, then pull the basket out and put them into another large pot that was full of liquid crab boil and other seasonings at a low boil and let it soak for a few minutes. They were seasoned great and heads were full of juice. It’s a great method but it requires two pots and two burners.

no, i do it the same way with one pot.

cook them and turn off the fire, pull out the basket to sit angled to the side to let it sit out of the water. then after about 10 minutes they have cooled off enough so when you drop it back into the hot water it cools it below boiling temps to soak. the cooled off crawfish suck that water in like a sponge
