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

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.

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??

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.

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