How long to boil crab legs
Posted by Mike11 on 2/24/12 at 9:48 pm
I've steamed them and done them on the grill, but the wife wants me to boil some for her and I have no idea as far as boiling/smoking time. Do they cook at about the same speed as crawfish ? Thanks guys.
I can't find the Chinese or Pakistani red pepper anywhere here in Texas for some reason. I there anywhere across the river I can order it from and have it shipped here that you guys know of ?
Hey Otis, how do you personally measure the Chinese Red out compared to regular cayenne ? Cut in in half or is it just a taste thing ?
Hey Jonno, i found that calculator last night while I was looking around. I can see it being a big help.
What i did the last time for a whole sack was a 72 oz jar of the zatarain's powder, 4oz of the liquid boil, and about 8oz of cayenne along with the other goodies. The more I think about it I think where I went wrong is when i went to do the second batch i used more powder instead of recharging with the liquid boil and cayenne like i am realizing I probably should have. that woudl explain the overbearing saltiness and i guess I can just chalk it up to a rookie mistake.
Thanks Otis I'll start looking for some and try that. I just really got into boiling them last year and welcome any suggestions from anyone. I have learned quick that no matter how good they come out there is always a little something that can be changed to squeeze a little more flavor out of them.
Crawfish boil seasoning - Commercial or mix your own ?

Just curious what everyone else does. I have been having a problem with my second batches coming out way too salty. I have been using a commercial blend and I think my problem is simply I am using too much to try to get the flavor where I want it. This is why I started contemplating mixing my own so I can control the salt level better. Thanks guys.
