Deako 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 You need to ask Foxgun Tom...the greedy b*****d ate all mine at Scone!! Seriously though, no more than 20 minutes for one that size, though you need a good big pan, water boiling well and a loose fitting lid to keep things REALLY hot. Quote Link to post
Guest chilli Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 2 hours it would have been like rubber if you had it hot enough mate ! Get a nice big cooking pot an boil it in there ive only ever cooked crayfish/prawns at home i nicked this of another site use 15 mins for Lobsters up to 1 1/2lb and add 5 mins per pound over that.
