Notes for Product
| Crawfish | Live crawfish take up volume due to their shape and claws. If boiling with sides like corn, potatoes, or sausage, reduce total by 10–20%. |
| Crabs (whole) | Based on medium-sized blue crabs. If large (like Dungeness). Crabs are typically layered, so avoid overpacking to allow even cooking. |
| Shrimp (head-on) | Shrimp are compact and settle well in a pot. Peeled/deveined shrimp take less space |
| Peanuts (green) | Raw green peanuts are denser and absorb water, causing them to swell. Allow extra room for water and stirring. Ideal for long, slow boils. |
| Lobster (whole) | Lobsters are bulky due to hard shells and claws. Boil with plenty of water space for submersion. |
| Crab Legs | King or snow crab legs stack loosely and unevenly. Consider using a steamer basket insert for easier removal and better spacing. Weight varies by cut and size. |
| Pro Tips |
| Water Capacity: For example, a 120-quart pot can hold roughly 30 gallons of water, but you rarely fill it completely to allow room for food and boiling motion. |
| Add-Ins Impact: Classic boil additions (corn, potatoes, sausage, onions, garlic, lemons) take up valuable space—always factor that in. |
| Boiling vs. Steaming: For delicate items like crab legs and lobster, steaming may be preferable. If you plan to steam, total quantity increases slightly since less water is needed. |
| Weight ≠ Volume: A dense food like peanuts or shrimp weighs more per quart than bulky items like crawfish or lobster. Always go by both weight and space used. |
