  1. Why make preparing crab legs any harder when they are SO easy & SO good like this! thanks Roy B!
     
  2. Excellent and easy method! I skipped the saran wrap, using only dampened paper towels. Our crab legs were defrosted (overnight in the fridge), so I microwaved them for two minutes. I also microwaved the butter after I took the crab legs out. Easy and perfectly done. Thanks!
     
  3. All these years I've been lugging the BIG stock pot out of the basement, wasting gallons of water and time waiting for the water to boil. Not to mention clean up! This recipe is simple & works! They tasted just as good as the boiled or pot-steamed.
     
  4. A KEEPER! This was so easy and so user friendly! NO DISHES TO WASH! Awesome! Thanks Roy B!
     
  5. This was very EASY and efficient when you want to prepare for only 1 person and only need just a couple legs. This wouldn't be my first method or preparing a full dinner. I would use for a 1 person appetizer or snack..

Tweaks

  1. This did not work at all. After trying in microwave at 4 minutes I definitely recommend only 1 or 2 cause it shriveled the meat instantly and was not a good cook. Good method but timing is not. 2 minutes people!
