re: Crawfish Boil Water

I used to run 2-3 batches in the same pot all the time. Owners at Deep South (Cajun land) taught me the following and it worked great for me:

1st batch - full amount of seasoning - use amount you prefer
2nd batch- 1/2 of first batch recipe (1/2 of everything you added to first batch)
3rd batch- 1/4 of first batch recipe

Worked great for me and they stayed consistent. Never lost much water when I boiled 3 batches either. And I measured the water after every boil. You really don't have to boil crawfish long to cook them anyway so a lot of water loss shouldn't happen. Early on when shells are soft, bringing to a boil and shutting fire off then soaking them the rest is plenty to cook them.
