Oh, and does anyone know how to cook crab? I would like to try new recipe and am terrified of giving us both food poisoning.

Just steam the suckers. =D

I don't know that I've ever steamed anything before in my life. I need specifics here.

Okay, here's a thing on how to boil them

So the whole lulling the crab into a state of unconsciousness involves putting them in the freezer for two hours before cooking them.

The last time we made crab was with Ryan and Beau back in Chicago. We kept saying we should do it again but we suck so we didn't. But we had really little crabs that time, and we just put some water at the bottom of a sauce pot, put a bowl in the sauce pot, and put the crab in the bowl. Boil the water, and it took like fifteen minutes I think, but they were small crab. The steaming works much better if you have a rack instead of a bowl so that the steam can actually get to the crab instead of around the bowl.

I'm thinking if this is your first time cooking crab, the boiling part is the best and easiest way to do it.

Then save all the shells and make crab bisque. ;)
