Back to rapid boil for 4 minutes

I don't understand how you folks aren't overcooking the shite out of your crawfish if you have them actually boiling for 4 minutes.

If you cut the fire as soon as a rolling boil starts you can soak longer. Crawfish don't take long to cook at all.

I cut the heat as soon as I see the first huge puff of steam. From there I let them soak between 15-27 minutes

I boiled a half sack once. Typical 2-3 min boil time. 10-15 minutes into soaking I tried one and realized it had all cooled quickly and they weren’t cooked long enough. It makes perfect sense. Hence my posts in this thread.

Boil it a little longer than normal. Hard hitting complicated procedure.
