I'm done with the schooling. Got a Bachelor's and a Doctorate. You? (since you want to tell people to go back to school).

Question ... are you proposing that the salt, pepper, and other ingredients in the sprinkle ACTUALLY melt? or that it just seasons the steam?


Dude...just let it go. There is good "sprinkled" crawfish out there. Yes there may be some bad ones too, but its a fairly new process and probably still has some kinks to work out. And news flash....there are a lot of really terribly crawfish out there that are boiled traditionally.

"Melt" is just a term that people use. Of course they don't actually melt. Steam is H20 and mixes with / absorbs into the dry ingredients, which is why you get a pool of ultra-concentrated seasoned water at the bottom of the ice chest when it's done.

Yes, I've said this repeatedly throughout the thread. Next question.

I guess this is what I don't get. All of that seasoning just sits on the ice chest floor and walls and MAYBE gets coated on some crawfish. How is that better than having them soak in the fully seasoned water?

No. This shows you don't know how the method is done. Do you think that someone sprinkles the seasoning on the walls and floor of the ice chest, then throws all the crawfish in the ice chest?

I don't think there are any people in this thread saying that it's better. So why do people keep asking this?

So you think that the seasoning gets 100% coverage on the crawfish?

I enjoy this debate.

I'm pretty sure people are asking because they can't comprehend why someone would continue using a method that produces an inferior crawfish and has absolutely no benefits whatsoever.

I recently picked up some cayenne pepper pulp mixed with salt from the Tabasco plant in New Iberia. Has anyone boiled crawfish with this stuff? Is it good?

I know a commercial operation that used a seasoning referred to as "Number 2". It was a sprinkle on...and it completely melted with the steam. They sold tons and tons...still do.

Tony Chachere published a sprinkle recipe in his very first cookbook series, too.

No, it gets good coverage if done properly, but it's definitely not as consistent as the soak method.

What if you could buy a liquid seasoning at the store to pour over them in the ice chest? Would you be willing to give that a try?

That's not how this is supposed to work. We have to disagree.

If you're going to soak them in a liquid why not just leave them in the pot?

You need to add just "to me" to all of your posts, because you are probably the least objective person in this thread.

I've already listed the benefits. I'm not repeating them again because you ignore / forget them. Stop being so asinine and recognize that there are reasons to prefer one method vs the other.

Look I've said many times that I prefer the soak method.
