My brother in Christ, if you are boiling 10k lbs of crawfish for an event that is from 11am-2pm it’s practically a race

The big rigs can easily soak and serve 1000lbs in an hour. Thats 333 3lb servings That’s serving 5 people every minute. By the time you have served the 333 person you next batch of 1000 would be ready.

Dusting is just lazy.

I found a previous video ( LINK) of the UL crawfish boil and it said that they serve "10 tons" of crawfish. I actually think they meant 10,000 pounds, but even then, if you only have one crawfish cooking trailer, that would take over 10 hours to cook if you are doing 1,000 lb in an hour.

The only way that soaking would work for cooking and serving crawfish in a 2-3 hour timeframe is if you have 3 or more trailers.

The 2016 UL Crawfish Boil video shows just 1 trailer.


So all they are likely doing is dropping their crawfish, returning to a boil, emptying crawfish from pots and dusting, which doesn't take much time.

Ok I called the guy here locally that does them for our event. What I thought was his “big” trailer isn’t. His 16’ rig can boil 2500lbs per hour. That cuts your boiling time down to 4 hours.

But… you start boiling before the event starts so the crawfish is ready at the start of the event. So 10,000 lbs of crawfish can successfully be prepared and served during a 3 hour event.

So again…. Dusting is lazy.

I don't get why you're so hellbent on arguing that dusting is the only way to cater a large event. It's simply untrue. You say I like to argue, but you're the one stuck on only one method possibly being acceptable, even in the face of loads of evidence to the contrary, all while being smug in your responses.

Yea, I'd have ignored my questions too.

I never said I didn't. You really are having some problems in this thread

You guys have posted how you feel that it's possible to do it with xyz setup, but you have zero idea of the setup that they were using. It's a fruitless argument because the facts aren't all there. I was just giving a viable reason why they were probably dusting. I'm really done now

Don't pack up and leave now. You're the dummy insisting dusting is the only way to handle an event this size. Which one of us is actually talking out of our arse again?
