Outstanding! I had to use canned crab since it's all that was available, so I used two cans and it came out very well with a nice meaty crabmeat proportion. I need to be a bit more careful in sealing them next time as a little of my filling leaked out on one or two, but they were still great. I froze half the batch to cook at a later date, and I'm already wanting to get to them. :-) Thanks for posting this, it's a keeper.

Crab Rangoons are one of my very favorite foods. When I discovered that I could make them at home I decided to try a couple of recipes and this is the one that has a permanent spot in my cookbook and my menu. These are so dang good I don't ever need to go to a chinese restaurant again. I do fry them in peanut oil to get that authentic chinese restaurant flavor. Also, I mix up a batch of the stuffing and make the rangoons as I want them. Don't pass this recipe up!

<p>I love to cook and bake! I work for a bank. I love to shop for FUN! I love old vintage cookbooks with simple, tasty recipes. My passion is SEE FOOD....see it and eat it!!! Pet peeves are incomplete recipes and recipes that call for fancy ingredients. If I had a bunch of free time with no responsibilities I would shop til I dropped and spend money like there is no tomorrow....:) My hubby is a tow truck driver and we have an 25 yr old son. We have 4 minature longhaired dachshunds.... I am a breeder as well (with a collection of rare color/pattern combinations).Also, another little fact about me is that I am related to Zaar Chef NursLinda.</p>
