1. What Makes Cajun Cooking Special
Cajun cuisine is more than food – it’s a way of life. Born in the heart of Louisiana, it combines French, Spanish, African, and Native American influences into bold, flavorful dishes.
And here’s the secret: authentic Cajun meals are meant to be shared. That’s why outdoor burners, oversized pots, and custom cookware are at the heart of every boil, gumbo, and jambalaya.
At Leroy’s Cajun Cookware, we build the tools that keep those traditions alive.

6. Safety Tips for Burners & Pots
Cooking outdoors is fun, but safety always comes first:
Always regulate for a blue flame only – too much airflow causes an orange flame that can damage aluminum.
Use a 20 PSI or lower LP regulator.
Keep burners on stable, level ground.
Never leave propane burners unattended.
⚠️ We are not responsible for damages caused by improper airflow or unsafe setups.

3. Season It Right
The boil is all about seasoning. Most Cajuns start with:
Crawfish boil seasoning (Zatarain’s, Louisiana Fish Fry, or your favorite blend)
Garlic, onions, lemons
Potatoes, corn, and sausage for sides
Pro tip: Add seasoning after you drop the crawfish so the flavor soaks into the shells.
---
4. Cooking Process
1. Fill your pot with water, add seasoning, and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Add potatoes, corn, sausage — cook until almost done.
3. Drop in live crawfish and cook 3–5 minutes.
4. Turn off the burner, let them soak 20–30 minutes.
5. Taste test until perfect.
