Ryan came down to celebrate Christmas and we did crab legs and Portillos chocolate cake. There is a Portillos in Dekalb and we took a road trip for the cake. It was worth the drive and gave us a chance to visit. Chasing bushy tails in the morning with the 10/22. Great weekend!
Nice!
Thats some good eats right there.
Love those legs but a lot of work
Pesce, we make quick work of them with kitchen shears and heavy scissors. We had four pair going that night. Might not be as refined as we could be, but it works great!
How do you cook those long legs ?
I like to bake mine. Keep them from getting water logged.
Don't put them in water, put them in a rack above the water and steam them.
How do you cook those long legs ?
In a long pan:Rofl
When you bake those legs,are they seasoned or baked just like that,i think i saw Jeff on the Deadliest catch the other night with his own pod. I'm thinking of the pan and pot i would need to buy to bake and steam them legs.
Legs $70
Pan $50
Pot $125
New stove so the pan fits $1000

I've cooked them every way imaginable, and those big ones are best for us when we throw them in a big roasting pan of boiling water for a few minutes. You put them vertical for a couple minutes after to get the water out and they are fine. The best way I think to cook them is wrapped in a wet paper towel, with some fresh dill, in the microwave. You can't do that with those monster legs.
I heard you need to put a bit of white vinegar in water when you boil and the meat don't stick to the shell and some old Bay season, i tried some OLD BAY in the breading for Crappie and it gave it a nice flavor, just a pinch.
