Crawfish Boil using the two Pot

Here's one of my favorite ways to boil crawfish.. I call it The Two POY BOIL..

[@devinthomas4866]

Great demo on Crawfish boil. Looks similar to 2 pot steam and soak that we use. It really cleans them and the soak doesn't turn into mud. The tabs on the inside of your pot as well as handle and stirring stick great designs. Loved the shrimp cookin sack, perfect for the folks who don't eat crawfish but show up at your crawfish boil anyway! Thanks for posting this video.

[@adde32332]

This is a game changer. Thanks for sharing. I like the bracket on the lid too. I think I'll weld one for mine.

[@damongwinn]

Great info. I'm going to use the two pot for my crawfish boil Easter weekend 😁

[@frankmarullo228]

This is a good video. Man.. I love watching craw fish cooking. Videos, I live in MONTANA but I want to go down to your neck of the country for some seriously good mud bug eating... Thank you Frank from montana...

[@OsamaBinDarrel]

As a Louisiana native I advise against it bc it's not just the crawfish all our food is the best 🤣 the only thing I crave from anywhere else is either Texas BBQ or South Carolina BBQ . We spoiled down here with the good cooking 🤣

[@robertdean9392]

Man that looks absolutely delicious!!! Done made me hungry. I need to drive down there from South Carolina and learn how to do that and help you eat a pot of it

When i was a kid one of the bmx dads would always boil a massive pot of crawfish and all the fixings as a traditional way of eating at a state race. I swore to gawd you look just like him too!!

You’re suppose to purge them first. Aka wash them before you cook them.

Do you purge your crawdads before you do the clean water boil? Just wondering if they're still that dirty after cleaning them

We try your two pot boil it was amazing my question is if you have more than one sack crawfish Do you change the water out every time boil another batch crawfish

[@jlp7184]

Good method for cleaning. Because they were dripping dirty water, i would've given them a quick rinse before putting them in the seasoning pot

[@guyghopkins7427]

I enjoy a salt purge cause it makes that ice cold Dixie beer so dam good...but I like the idea of a second pot...your gear is nice too...so where can I buy it??

[@IcshadowsNblood]

Wouldn't it be easier just to purge them in a cooler and then throw them in the pot after? I feel like by cooking them then adding them to more hot water the cooking time doesn't stop it just continues and possibly over cooks? Just wondering. Thanks!

[@troyjohnson1121]

He transferred to the soaking pot which he said temp was at 150 degrees .That 150 stops the cooking process .I boil every weekend Im gonna try this process see if they taste different. Its worth a shot .

You’re right. They are definitely over cooked. I clean mines with vinegar and salt.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

So you’re unfamiliar with soaking crawfish? They’re flavorless if they aren’t soaked! Soak at 150F and they do not continue to cook. If you overcook them it’s your fault ....

How much does a 30 pound bag of crawfish cost down there?

[@jwlf11]

Question. If your boiling them prior to purging, once they hit the boiling water they dead. No way for them to spit that there mud out. Just a thought.

[@timmydronet1268]

Purging and cleaning crawfish are 2 different things. 1. Purging crawfish is the process of cleaning the inside/poop vein so it is no longer black and full of you know what and/or gritty artificial bait. Just like you and me it takes time for our system to cleanse itself. The same is true for crawfish, it's typically a 24 hour process in an aerated tank of plain water with no access to new food to ingest. 2. Cleaning them is what gets the mud off of the outside of the crawfish which happened twice before he boiled them. One of the purposes of the video was to show how dirty crawfish are, even after being washed multiple times. They do not "spit that there mud out," the mud is on the outside of the shell. Hope this answers your question.

[@jwlf11]

@@timmydronet1268 Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

[@mikeredd8833]

If it's frozen add in towards the end of your soak(bout 6 to 10 min before done). It'll cool the water down a bit but that spice will soak in perfectly to that corn

[@KillerPizza9982]

Hmmm interesting but wouldn't it be bad to do it that way? Cause you got all the mud and stuff in the pot you just boiled them and you said there was a smell to the mud pot so wouldnt the smell latch on the the crawfish? I seen a few crawfish bouls on yt and they all clean their crawfish before boiling so that they arent durty nor having gunk on them while they boil.

[@GregTally]

Personally think doing both might produce the absolute best outcome...but if you keep soaking and rinsing until the water is clean...not sure I'd see the point of the two pot method. If this guy was just cooking them without rinsing them previously - then no wonder the two pot method is a game changer for him!

[@timmydronet1268]

@@GregTally in the beginning of the video you can see the supplier washing them and in addition to that, he washes them again in his outdoor sink when he gets them home. I boil crawfish for a living and we wash them 3 times before we boil them and there is still a lot of dirt that comes off during the boil. We consider the boil to be the "ultimate bath" as we are boiling them at 212° which gets the rest of the dirt/mud off of the "mud bugs." Sure there may be a LITTLE bit of dirty water on the outside of the crawfish when transferring to the 2nd pot. However, it does not compare to the amount of dirt/mud in the water using the traditional 1 pot method. You just don't see it because the pot is full of seasoning camouflaging the dirty water.

[@timmydronet1268]

@Bruno the distinction he makes about the 2nd pot being 150° is what you seem to be missing. He boils them at 212° resulting in the crawfish getting the "ultimate bath" leaving 99%(there's a little bit of dirty water on the shell of the crawfish) of the dirt in the boil pot. He then drops them into the 150° pot which has no fire under it and is NOT boiling or cooking the crawfish any further. It is only for the soaking process with a controlled temperature to avoid further cooking and clean seasoned water to soak up.

[@devinthomas4866]

@@timmydronet1268 100% correct

[@devinthomas4866]

@@GregTally Look up FrogBone Seasoning. They have videos of 2 pot method. Steam first then soak. Similar but only uses a small amount of steam/water to cook em first. I have a crawfish washer and even when you get clear running water they still have mud and dirt on them. We use the washer and 2 pot method. You can absolutely tell the difference. They do not have that swampy mud smell, especially after you have cooked 3-4 batches and the soak water is still clean and spicy.

[@IcshadowsNblood]

I mean isnt purging them the same thing and then you dont have to have two cookers going plus your also adding cook time to your crawfish by cooking them then adding them to very hot water agian.

[@CWEATHERFORD68]

You’re not adding cook time... It’s a soak time... You have to soak the crawfish to draw the juice and seasoning into the crawfish... Think physics... Heat expands and cooler temps shrink... When you boil the meat is cooking and expanding and pushing outward... When you shut off the heat, the cooling takes place and shrinks... When they shrink, it forces the seasoned water into the crawfish... That’s the flavor baw!!!

@Xmannyfresh22X I'd say he has a very good reason to be pushing Loco brand products since his Southern Boyz Outdoors store sells it. Also, he isn't double boiling the crawfish. Boiling happens at 212°, the 2nd pot is at 150° and only soaking the crawfish. You steam and then soak, he boils and then soaks...

[@phi8403]

Umm.... Hell no....

[@larrybeatson6352]

Yeah. Just think. You boiled the dirty crayfish in clean water which doesn't mean they are now clean. You cooked them before cleaning them which means you have dirty cooked crawfish. Come on man. You know better than that!

[@timmydronet1268]

So, in the video you can see all of the dirty water remaining after he boiled them in "clean water" as you stated. Hot water, especially at a rolling boil, breaks up dirt much more effectively than cold water which is why the "clean water" was no longer clean after he boiled them. Also, if you rewatch the video you can see where the supplier washed them and then he washed them again before he ever dropped them into the clean water to boil them.
