re: Crawfish - Over-Soaking

I'm not going to take a chance and putting the lid on no matter what now. Maybe that wasn't the cause, but it's too expensive to try to find out.
And maybe only start boiling in March when the crawfish is good, but I always have an itch to boil once early in the season.
Can't wait to do my second boil next weekend.

Any reason why you add the liquid seasoning after and not while boiling? Thanks.

I use a bag of powder seasoning for the boiling part.
my theory is that the additional liquid seasoning is better absorbed during the soak and not "boiling out". I could be wrong, but a competitive cooker told me that many years ago and its been my go to method. now that I typing this I forgot to mention that I also add extra lemon juice at the end too for the same reason the lemon flavor gets better absorbed.

I believe it has something to do with the aromatics in liquid seasoning. When boiled, you lose some of that as opposed to putting liquid boil / lemons in once the fire is off. The same goes for lemons. This thread has a discussion on it: LINK

If you think the crawfish don't take in seasoning during a soak, soak a sack and then boil a 2nd sack in the same water without adding more seasoning. It's incredible how bland they will be.
FYI for those that don't know - the general rule is to add half your seasoning to a 2nd batch.

Yea, I started that thread. Every season I want to improve by boil and learn from other knowledge and experience. Since that thread, I use half my lemons, orange, liquid seasoning during the boiling and the other half after I cut the fire. It seems to improve the taste that my family like.
I want to put all the lemons, orange, and liquid seasoning after cutting the fire, but afraid to ruin the boil. If only crawfish is below a dollar like back in the days, then it won't be too expensive to test.

I don't think it's possible to ruin a boil by doing that. It may change the flavor a little...maybe more to your liking, maybe not. But ruin? No way.

Maybe the posters that do the weekly challenges can make it happen. I'll even do it in Lafayette or Dallas or whatever culinary hellhole Joe is from.

Consistently the worse poster on every board with the exception of the OT, and that is only because OWEO posts there.

I am as calm as Lake Fausse Pointe just after the summer rain. Why don't you have the time? Is it because you're scared?

I had no idea. Like I care. Posting comments is a popularity contest now? Your neck beard needs a trim.
