ok i think i am well qualified to answer on this thread lol!!! i boil crabs for 5-7 minutes and i let them soak in the seasoned water for 8-10 minutes! your meat wont get mushy and the crabs will soak up the seasoning..... always add onions and potatoes to your water.... potatoes will take longer to cook so adjust accordingly......Cest Bon! i always add a box of salt to my first batch and then about a half of box to all other batches... the seasoning recipe on the box or Jar is usually not enough for us Cajuns... we always add more! the soaking part is when your crabs will really draw the flavor from the water.... hope this helps

Anybody using Swamp Dust for boiling.If so how was it?
