Steaming Crawfish. Ever seen this video?

Warning: This video is 15 minutes long. But it has methods I've never seen before. Makes me curious about these Rocket Pots. What do the experts here think? Looks like a lot of work for the same result.

I've been to some asian restaurants that steamed crawfish. I've never tried them though.

I'm sure steaming them is fine and all but why do people have to make simple shite so complicated? The point of the backyard boil is to throw everything in one pot, boil and dump on a table.
Now, the recipe this guy uses is absurd. 4 bottles of concentrate, 3 bottles of cayenne, a jar of pickled jalapeños, 12 cups of some boil mix with more cayenne in it and just to make sure your taste buds get burned out of your mouth, he heads some supposedly super hot hot sauce. So silly.

I've been to someone's house where they steamed them and they were pretty good, but I've got too much respect for crawfish to steam them to death.

I've never eaten steamed crawfish but I have eaten steamed crabs and they were pretty good. My buddy from LaRose moved to the Georgia coast for a while and picked up the method there. His aren't as seasoned as the typical South la boiled crabs and they take a good while longer to cook.

Didn't watch the video, but have been to a north Louisiana crawfish "boil" where they basically steamed the crawfish in straight water then dumped the crawfish into ice chests, sprinkled Tony's on top and then let them sit for a few minutes to soak up the flavor.
Absolutely terrible experience

Watched it. Absolutely dumb as hell. Talk about over-complicating a really easy process.

Why would someone mess with one of the most perfect foods in the world? Boiled crawfish is amazing. And truth be told, it's not all that hard to get right. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I wouldn't waste time doing this method but I did like the idea of pureeing some onion and celery and adding it to the boil.
I've never heard of anybody doing this.

Dear Lord.
Are there actually humans who can eat that shite? I can't imagine the heat in those things. Guaranteed to give the screaming shits.
As far as the steaming goes, it is a bit overkill for a home boil. However, you'd be surprised how many times you have eaten steamed crawfish if you buy from the larger retailers. I'm talking to the 500-several thousand sack a week sellers. And believe it or not, there is some validity to the cleaning that occurs when steaming.
However, that has little to do with why they do it, except for that they can get more "soaks" in on their soaking pot. It is a much cheaper, quicker way for them to make boiled crawfish. While they don't use a pot like this to steam them, they do have steaming rigs which use heat and pressure to produce steam quickly and soak in a lukewarm pot of seasoned water. The amount of seasoning used is no different than if they were boiling them, and certainly not what this yahoo used.

To the OP,
I have a rocket pot, it's great.
I can't really comment on the total time to boil reduction, because I also have a double jet burner. The combo of those two things is great.
