I'm happy you didn't use salt, they can get stressed and die. I'm even happier you didn't spread seasoning on top of the already cooked crawfish! Great Job!

[@EverydayMan]

Thanks!!

[@Only9mm]

Hey, you need to get the Boil Boss, or rig up something like that design. It's worth it.

[@EverydayMan]

My buddy made one that I like to use. He wasn't home though. Lol

[@EverydayMan]

I went check the Boilboss web site and the price was a lot cheaper than last time I saw them at the Sportsman Show. I bought it😁

[@Only9mm]

@@EverydayMan Woohoo! It's on now! It gets the temp down to 155 within 5-7 minutes with stirring. I've used it for 2 years and ill never go back to ice again. I bought the purple one.

[@EverydayMan]

@@Only9mm I entered a crawfish cook off for my church. Last year I won 2nd, this year I figured I am going to get first. Didn't have the boilbass last year😁😁

[@Only9mm]

@@EverydayMan I wish we had them competitions here in Houston, id slay em all! Haha

[@jbranden100]

Thank You Kindly I’m in Lake Charles from NOLA and everywhere I go for crawfish there seasoning on top!!!! They swear that’s the way to go it!!! I’m like noooooooo the seasoning goes in the pot. Also they add boiled eggs 😑 😣

[@EverydayMan]

Boiled ehgs, that's odd

[@embordes]

@Everyday Man, about how long does it take to bring it to a "rolling boil" once you add the crawfish? (I have a double jet burner)

[@EverydayMan]

Probably 5 minutes. If u don't put too much water.

[@randomguy2369]

Love the vids boss

Thanks!

Great video, I'm boiling for the first time in May. I have to boil for 30 people. Tons of pressure haha. I'll use this video. How many minutes did you boil them for, and how many minutes did you let them soak? Every video I've watched has something different. Also, If I do potatoes can I cook them the same way as you did the lemons and onions? Thanks

[@EverydayMan]

I explained the time exactly in the video. Do it just like I explained and they will be perfect. Don't be worried. Follow the video! They will be awesome 👌

[@EverydayMan]

I explained the potatoes also.

[@wuwu2litt]

Great vid

[@EverydayMan]

Thanks!

[@southernslangerz2254]

Stop putting salt on your crawfish cou-yons It don’t do nothing but make them more salty! 🤣🤣🤣

[@EverydayMan]

That's right🤣

[@wuwu2litt]

Great vid

5.03 sounds like me at 3am in the bathroom after a few beers.

I realized that when I watched it the first time😅

[@bigalbbq4597]

Great vid!!! Really appreciate you taking time to show us all how you guys do it. Take care and God bless!

[@EverydayMan]

Thanks!

[@MrCoors68]

I was soooo happy he used a butter knife slicing those onions, and didn't cut his arm off !!!!!!!! I was really concerned for his safety............... ommfg.........

[@EverydayMan]

I dont know what butter knife you are referring to. It was acually a steak knife I had in my garadge. Thanks for watching.

[@jayjdietrich]

I promise you my old lady is gonna complain there's too much spice. I have to do an extra pot, a little one, just for her. She gonna learn though! When I use straight up water and a little salt! Der ya go, Cher!

[@EverydayMan]

Haha, gotta have my nose running 😁

[@jayjdietrich]

Everyday Man I know, Bruh! I don't know what happened to her, other than she just turned 50 and...well, you can guess! I just thought she was high maintenance before! Dang!

[@EverydayMan]

No problem, check out the air boat videos I just put out yesterday. There are 4 of them. I think you'll like them!!

[@MrPhotastic]

When he said "Everybody is gonna have an opinion on how to do it." he ain't lying! Nice vid!

Thanks!

Yes indeed 337 here he probably wouldn’t put brussel sprouts he was being considerate of his guests I’m just glad I didn’t see him pour orange juice

[@jschaefer89]

Love this!! I’m from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 and this looks like heaven 🤤

[@EverydayMan]

It is so good! Probably a little tough to get down under. Lol

[@jschaefer89]

@@EverydayMan definitely! We have some shellfish similar called “yabbies” or “marrons” but boils aren’t a thing here! I have a local “USA foods” store near me that I get zatarains and other boil things from, and Costco for crab legs and prawns etc so I make do

[@EverydayMan]

@@jschaefer89 that's great!

[@jeffdemel6338]

OMG I know I'm late to the party, but they gave that poor son in law a butter knife to cut onions. I'm dying. lol

[@EverydayMan]

Hahaha!!

[@raymondrobinson5251]

Never tried this! Would love to try me some crayfish!

[@EverydayMan]

They are very tasty!!

[@Only9mm]

You haven't lived till you try it!

[@JoebsonOSRS]

This is a bucket list thing for me Ive never done a crawfish boil being from Chicago but i NEED to do a crawfish boil in Louisiana ! This makes my mouth water ! Amazing video here!

[@EverydayMan]

Follow these instructions and they will come out great! Thanks for watching!

[@davidshamiri1448]

Good to see it done by several eople to see the slight differences .. another guy boiled it for 2 minutes at the end

[@EverydayMan]

Close enough lol

[@DIVA6236]

Great instructional video. Where can I get that thing you put under the strainer on the pot to drain the Crawfish 😊

[@EverydayMan]

It's just a piece of stainless steel tubing that I bent.

[@laxcodgirls]

Great video. You did add salt though with the olive brine. But I get what you’re saying!

[@EverydayMan]

Thanks

[@karendickey3783]

I am soooo homesick! Looks great-

[@EverydayMan]

Thank you!

[@chrisflores2155]

I have never cooked crawfish before. How would an assortment of citrus work? Ex. Lemons, oranges, lime, maybe blood oranges.

[@EverydayMan]

Works pretty good. In the end I prefer lemons but have used oranges.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Lemons are traditional. Oranges is some new thing some people are using and they seem to mix them with lemons. I just use lemons cuz that’s how I grew up and it’s always good and tastes how it’s supposed to when you got the crab boil seasoning in it with the lemons.

[@lifewith26gang45]

Sweet ❤

[@southernslangerz2254]

We boil a lot alike. The only thing I do different is I put the onions, potatoes, garlic in the water before lighting the burner. Bring the water to a boil and add the crawfish. Once I cut the fire off I add all the cold stuff. Corn, sausage, etc. All of these things are already cooked so they only need to be warmed and the cod temperature helps bring the water temp down also. Throw a boil boss around the pot and stir for 3 minutes. Cover the pot and soak for 25-30 minutes

[@EverydayMan]

I just broke down and bought the boil boss! Works great!

[@southernslangerz2254]

@@EverydayMan have you used it yet? I just got mine about two weeks ago and used it for the first time this weekend past. Hands down the best way to drop the temp! it makes dropping that temp below 150 a breeze! Turn the fire off, throw it on, stir the pot for 3/4 minutes If you have a 100qt or 120qt it’ll take about 5/6 minutes There’re worth their weight in gold man!

[@EverydayMan]

@@southernslangerz2254 I have used it. My buddy made one a while back and I have used it several times. I just went ahead and bought one.

[@dylanmatherne9452]

They were DELICIOUS!

[@tman7718]

Finally a man that knows how to boil crawfish!! Great Video. I actually bought the boil boss to cool the pot and it does work great and easy. The good ole hose works good too!! great vid and you have new subscriber.

[@EverydayMan]

Thank you very much. I finally broke down and bought the boil boss last week😆

[@tman7718]

@@EverydayMan I didn't like payment that much for a glorified hoola hoop, but it works. It only takes about 3 minutes to get temp down to about 150.

[@jayr2138]

If I wanted to add crab and shrimp what would be the best time to put them in. Thank you great video.

[@EverydayMan]

You can add shrimp right before you turn off the fire. Im not sure about adding crabs since cook times and soak times would be different.

[@jayr2138]

@@EverydayMan Thank you very much for the quick response. Thinking I'll do a separate pot for the crab just to be safe. Thank you again.

[@southernslangerz2254]

What kind of Ice chest is that!???

[@EverydayMan]

That's a Cabelas brand chest. Best chest I've used. I have a review on it. Check it out.

Haha thanks! I'm boiling right now!!

I'm gonna start mine in a couple hours. Thanks and y'all have a great weekend.

[@EverydayMan]

@@MrJasonw79 you too!

[@goobamedia4064]

How many pounds was It

[@EverydayMan]

30 or 32

[@SSgtBigSwole]

DO NOT PUT SALT ON YOUR CRAWFISH TO PURGE THEM!!! Also don’t put salt in the pot for seasoning since crab boil has enough salt as it is.

[@EverydayMan]

I agree. I even mentioned that in the video lol

[@SSgtBigSwole]

@@EverydayMan I know you did, i just think it needs to be repeated because people need to know. 😂

Hey I don't mean to sidetrack but u need to do more shooting videos! I know ammo is hard to find, but hopefully if more ammo gets in stock you can do more gun videos.

[@EverydayMan]

Ammo is definitely the problem...

I quit watching when he said hot dogs.

I happen to like hot dogs boiled in crab boil. Smoked sausage too. Thanks for watching.
