    Simple. Easy. Delicious. Perfection!!! Thank you Alton, I used to boil my crab legs... wasted energy and flavor. The only thing this recipe needs is a good wine, some warm drawn butter, a good friend to get messy with.... oh, and a wet cloth to clean up after the deliciousness!

    I have been drooling over the commercials on TV for a certain chain restaurant. They are having their crab promotion this month . Then I saw your show about steaming crab legs in the microwave ..... here's where your genius come in....your simple instructions involve just popping the crab in microwave, 2 minutes, then, Viola, juicy, sweet crab. So I thought I can do this and bought the biggest King Crab legs I could find and mentally challenged you and was up for the challenge.
    WOW! Sweet, juicy, the best I ever ate crab legs and I fixed them with the sprig of dill (who would have thought!
    and clarified some butter, had mayo with Old Bay seasoning and was armed with my claw clippers and kept thinking that was the easiest meal I have ever done and now I am a GENIUS to, thanks to you.
