Some of yall asked me to post a review of the Boil Boss crawfish pot cooling accessory.

Last week, I won a free sack of crawfish and a Boil Boss, courtesy of the folks who created The Crawfish App and the inventor of The Boil Boss.

I picked up the crawfish from Bayou Adventure in Lacombe this morning. 37lbs of fairly clean, very nice sized bugs with nearly zero dead-loss. Fired up the pot with some Cajunland Season.

Once the bugs finished cooking I attached the Boil Boss and cranked on the water at 12:46. The water temp was approx 220. Within 3 minutes, at 12:49 they were already sinking and the temp was down to about 200. 6 minutes later at 12:55 the water temp was 150 and all but 1 or 2 bugs were sunk all the way to the bottom.

The instructions that come with it say to stir constantly from bottom to top however I didn't do that much stirring (too busy talking and drinking with our guests!).

Overall, I'm very surprised at how well it worked compared to the ice or frozen bottle method of cooling. Works as advertised and you don't have to worry about diluting your seasoning or remembering to freeze a couple 2-liters for the next boil. I'd highly recommend it!

Here's some pics.
