If your crawfish weren't already purged by your supplier you need to submerge them in fresh salted water (a cooler works great) and keep changing the water until the water remains clear. You only need salt the water with the first cooler full. Be sure to pick out any dead crawfish during the process.
Fill a pot big enough to hold the crawfish with water. Bring it to a boil and add your favorite seafood boil or seasoning, salt and a couple halved and squeezed lemons. Now get the water to a rolling boil and add the crawfish. Stir them up a bit, then cover the pot and return to boil for about 5-10 minutes. Stir them again, turn off the fire and allow them to soak for about 10-15 minutes. Strain and dump them out on a table covered in newspaper or such and dig in.
What is the boiling point water?
Boiling is the formation of vapor bubbles inside a liquid. They are not air, but rather some of the liquid that has evaporated.
The molecules of the liquid have to have enough energy to break out of the liquid phase and become the vapor. That means the vapor has to push the liquid aside to make the bubble. This happens when the vapor can push back against the atmosphere pushing on the liquid.
The boiling point is the temperature where the vapor has enough push to overcome the air pressure. In other words, the boiling point is the temperature where the vapor pressure and the atmospheric pressure are the same. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point.

How do you reheat pre cooked prime rib roast?
If you are going to be reheating it whole, I would first remove it from the refrigerator and keep it at room temperature for at least an hour before reheating. This allows the interior of the meat to warm up and approach the termperature of the exterior of the meat. Then I would warm it low and relatively slow, so the meat can warm throughout without cooking the exterior too much.

I guess that you have put too much chilli powder or chilli peppers into your chilli. The trith is that you can't do anything about to much chilli. the only thing is by diluting the chilli down with more sauce or add veg. Another way which is an old wives tale is to add a potatoe. this is supposed to absorb the acids causing the hotness.
What are some good dishes to make in bulk to freeze for later use?
Dishes that are good for going from the freezer to the stove include chili, beef stew, macaroni and cheese (assembled, but not yet baked), chicken noodle soup, greens, and most any entrée that you would find in your grocer's freezer case. It is important to remember that most foods do not do to well being refrozen after being thawed. So portion them so that you don't have too many leftovers.

How long do you boil potatoes if you plan on making mashed potatoes?
About 20 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Start off by putting the potatoes on in cold water (root vegetables should always start in cold water, other vegetables in boiling water). The way to test their doneness is to insert a sharp knife into a few of your potatoes and lift them up out of the water. If they fall off the knife, they're done.

When do you take the foil off of a turkey?
== == Many cooks would recommend taking the foil off about 30 to 45 minutes or so just before removing it from the oven. That way the browning can occur (and you can be sure it's not under done). After pulling the foil, check back every 10 minutes or so until the desired "brown-ness" happens. Too soon and the bird dries out. Too late and it has an "under done" look. Bon appétit!

Why the water at the bottom of a pot of simmering water becomes less dense as it is heated?
As water, or any substance, absorbs heat energy, its molecules gain kinetic energy. Because they are moving around more, they take up more space. Density is the measure of how much stuff is in a given space. More space and same amount of stuff equals lower density.
