King Crab Leg/Claws?
How do you heat up precooked pre frozen King Crab Legs, as they are sold at
Costco? They're marketed the same way in our local supermarkets as well. TIA Ed |

They are alread (over-)cooked so all you are doing is reheating them. They don't have to be piping hot for most kinds of ordinary eating so there's no need to overdo it. Almost any method will work but the first step is to thaw them as slowly as you can. The faster you thaw them the more the texture suffers. Best is on a plate over a bed of ice in the refrigerator, replenishing the ice every now and then. Next best is in the refrigerator. Faster methods, including covering in cold water, are inferior. After slow thawing, then warm. Microwave, but do it in shorter-than-you-want increments and test as you go. Steam. Drop in boiling water, but they sometimes get soggy that way. Put on a tray in a hot oven. We usually eat it simply with drawn butter and lemon and it's more important that the butter be hot than the crab..... Remoulade sauce is okay, too. It's also good in a room temp salad..... -aem |

It's too easy to over-cook and dry them out, and the meat is cold by the time you shell it out anyway! I just thaw them, pick all the meat out then toss it into some hot lemon/garlic butter. The heat from the dip re-heats the meat just right and then eat it as is or over some warm sourdough bread. It's also good to use that way in any other crab recipes. Crab meat is wonderful with a little bit of cheese mixed with eggs for instance... -- Peace!

They can shuck their own damned crab legs while simultaneously chowing down on pasta, garlic bread and salad. It slows them down and gives them a chance to fill up on less expensive items. |

Last time I made real crab rangoons tho', I bought flaked crab meat from the freezer section at the Korean market. Don't recall exactly what it cost but I do remember that it was reasonably priced: http://picasaweb.google.com/OMPOmele...ngoon05152006# I didn't do a step by step for that series (hadn't really done much of that in '05) but next time I make them, I will. Hard to believe it's been that long since I've made rangoon! I'll probably make it with shrimp next tho' unless I get to a market that sells reasonably priced crab meat. The last time I ate some surimi was a couple of weeks ago and it will be the last time! It used to be good. This batch had NO flavor whatsoever. :-( It's no longer worth the price with the crappy quality... -- Peace!

Iirc, it was around $7.00 or $8.00 per lb. and considering the price per lb. of even Snow crab clusters... <g> Truly superior to canned! > > > >http://picasaweb.google.com/OMPOmele...ngoon05152006# > > > those do look good! Thanks! I think that was shortly after I first bought that fry daddy. Just wish I'd taken more prep pics. ;-) I'll do that next time. Those are from 2005. -- Peace!
