Good Eats S7E1P1: Crustacean Nation - Feeling Crabby

[Hellsboundedsoul]

Werid because I boil my crab and add seasoning to the pot and it taste fine.

[omegaheartless]

Seafood city is almost always seen selling live crab...though the crabs don't usually last very long and are usually ripped apart...well by one another, they don't really seem to be that nice to one another.

[werewasyo]

wow his microwave has got to be in the worst most uncomfortable position in a kitchen...

[MsGooch72]

So... if he was gonna cut the legs anyway, why didn't he just cut them to go in a pot??

[trlkly]

I've successfully used the microwave to cook his pillow or drop dumplings. You see, the chicken was already cooked in a slow cooker, and I only had a half cup of broth left. So I made the dumplings (substituting one jumbo egg and a tablespoon of water for 2 eggs), put them in the bag, and then squirted them out in a bowl. Unfortunately, they all stuck together, but I wasn't looking for anything fancy and just cut them into pieces and added them to the chicken. Nom, nom, was it good.

Love the hamster wheel in the crab tank.

[Doliath]

Isn't there some rule against putting plastic in the microwave?

[xxsyzzurppxx]

lol @ "last time i cooked somthing live it was a peta nightmare"

[87btran]

why doesn't he cook a live crab? He's a phony!!!

[hsuanstr]

@87btran hey everyone, this guys a phony!!!

[timelordthetrain]

@87btran You only cook lobsters live.

[87btran]

@timelordthetrain My family cooks live crabs all the time though.

[timelordthetrain]

@87btran I've never cooked or heard of cooking crabs live, I need more work to become a chef.

[GrenMoyo]

lol who doesn't want hott legs! xD

[LunaGirl2001]

What's the last thing he tried to cook live on the show? A lobster or something?

[Jeneparlepasfrancais]

If Alton was going to break the legs apart to microwave them anyway, why not just do that and steam them normally over the stove?

[Jedibron]

@Jeneparlepasfrancais That or just not break them down and steam them in a fryer pot.

[photohunter87]

Am I the only one that thinks the hampster wheel in the crab tank is brilliant?

[twistedchinaman]

A true live king crab - fun to cook, even more fun to eat.

Bought a real live king crab once from an Asian grocery store in Calgary once -- cost C$140 -- 10 pounds of pure Alaskan crab delight.

[Biotoasts]

DUDE I LIVE IN CALGARY TOO

Are you talking about TnT

[twistedchinaman]

@Biotoasts Yes. Wait for Chinese New Year -- that's the next time it should be available there...one hopes!

[kiminokami]

How did you kill it?

[twistedchinaman]

@kiminokami pretty much knife in the middle of the abdomen; quick and easy...

[jnm2008]
