re: Official Crawfish Recipe Thread

Has nothing to do with pores on a crawfish. Look at you pot of crawfish the next time you boil. When you cut the flame for the soak. they'll be riding high in the water....floating.Drop a small bag ,8 lbs, of ice on them. They will sink into the water for the rest of the soak.Dilution is minimal.They'll season better,quicker.An alternative is to cool down the outside of the pot with a water hose...just a bit messy.I always use one method or the other to improve the seasoning and speed up the process.
