No shite, which is why I said you called yourself irrational. Are you drunk?

Almost always A, but I’ve done B a few times when we wanted to eat inside. Like if the weather is cold or rainy, or it’s an evening boil. Other than that, I’m dumping them on a table under the carport.

Do you do multiple batches because your pot is maxed out? Or do you just like doing multiple batches?

I recently talked to a guy who had 90 pounds to boil.
I asked him if he wanted to borrow my pot(can do 100 pounds).

He said no I am going to do 3 boils, I like multiple boils.

I can see his point. The whole experience for a lot of people is the all day thing of it. If there's just one batch and that's it, I could see where someone might think of that as taking away from the experience of a big boil.

Its like those days where you feel like being in the kitchen all day with a beer in hand, cooking something labor-heavy and time consuming.

you need to learn to properly season your first batch.

Depends on how many people are there. I have access to a ton of pots, burners, and tanks so maxed out is never really an issue.

I think he just means he is busy getting started in the 2nd and being polite by letting others go in on the first batch.

If there are a lot of people, I don't always participate in the first batch either.

Who says it isn't properly seasoned on the first batch?

More batches in the same pot will have more seasoning though.

I'm talking about people who never eat crawfish usually jump all over the first batch like they'll never get another. The later batches have weeded out the 2 pound people.

Nah, it's not like a second batch is blow your face off spicy. If I wanted to shitlord about heat, I'd brag about eating a whole ghost pepper.

I mean the people who say they love crawfish, eat 2 pounds off the first batch, load up on potatoes and sausage, then bow out.

The later batches are fewer people and you can stand there with more room and get your fill.

This thread is funny with some of the responses.

Tboy eating like its his last meal is very douchey

Ive walked back up to the table an hour later and the leftover crawfish were still warm



I can see this if its a big pile that doesnt get touched. Stragglers like a few lbs from a sack dumped on the table wont be warm.

I peel about 20-30, discard the heads and toss the peeled tails in some canes sauce.

No matter how fast people are eating, the crawfish will get cold on the table.

I don't like them hot. If they cool a little, the fat comes out in one piece.

If you put them in an ice chest, they can continue cooking and get harder to peel.

We use crawfish trays with a scoop, straight out the basket.
