home page Learn to Boil Who We Are

To start, I use a large boiling pot with basket and cover. The burner in the picture runs on natural gas but I also use a propane burner when I am away from home.  The tub contains a 45 pound sack of select crawfish from the Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana.

A tub or ice chest can be used to hold the crawfish so you can rinse them off.
Fill the tub with water to rinse the crawfish.  Do not add any salt to the rinse water.
Using the sack makes it easy to pour out rinse water without any crawfish escaping after a few minutes of soaking
Pour out rinse water. Repeat rinsing process until you are satisfied. Remove dead crawfish or any debris... twig, leaf, etc.  Now you're ready to get cooking!
