Has any one tried the 2 pot steaming method? steam in one pot and soak in another with spices, if so how were they? May give that a try next time.

I tried both steam 2 pot and boil 2 pot methods. I also did it side by side with the same sack. From my one test side by side, the 4 tasters said steam is cleaner. I want to do one more test one of these days.

From my experience, the boil method is more consistent in cooking temperature. For the steam, you need to stir the crawfish around so all the crawfish are cook evenly. It's kind of hard to do if you have an 80/90 quart pot. You also need to make sure the basket is not higher than the pot when raised up for steaming. Your burner has to be strong to create good steam.
