Haven't heard that in about 12 years. Worked in Taft for a few years. Seemed like there was always something going on "back Vacherie"

I boil in seasoned water, bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Cut fire off and bring temp down with half bag ice(8lb bag) leave lid off let soak while stirring once in a while for 10 or 12 minutes. The half bag of ice doesn't add much water, as far as worring about filling the pot or using to much seasoning. If you are in a spot were you can using a "hose pipe" as you say in Vacherie, with no spray nozzle can cool the pot enough to soak them. Just run the water on the out side of the pot til it stops steaming and you can touch the pot. I have done it both ways. No need for dusting cooking this way.
