re: Need Crawfish boiling advice

I know a whole lot of people who do the ice thing, but I have my suspicions it does nothing. I don't see how it would. All you do is cooling and diluting the water. I just don't get it, but I've never noticed it made worse by it or anythign.

It's done to help stop the cooking process. in addition to the bag of ice I also hose the side of the pot and add a stick and a half of butter. They come out perfectly cooked every time and the tails pop right out of the shell. This is how my father has always done it and how I do it.

After I get done with one batch I add 1/3-1/2 a jar of crawfish boil again to get the seasoning level back up.

The salt stays in the pot though. Beware of the salt after two batches.

Hope everything works out for you and yours.
