    Amazing Crab Legs!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The most tasty & tender crab legs I've ever made. Almost didn't include the fresh dill - that would have been a big mistake,... it was a perfect complementary flavor to the crab legs. Read more

    I was soooo intimidated buying and cooking anything like this, even though I LOVE seafood. Thank you so much for teaching me... how to enjoy this at home at a fraction of the price. I'm going to venture out and try some other receipes! I feel so empowered!!!LOL!Read more

    Saved Mother's day!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe saved Mother's Day! We had never cooked King Crab legs before, and my mom requested them for Mother's day. I... was afraid of ruining this expensive treat, so I did some research and found Alton's recipe. It was easy and the crab legs came out perfect!! Trust the 2 min time. Another bonus, we took each packet and before it was opened, used a hammer to crack the legs with no mess. Thank you Alton for saving Mother's day!Read more

    Awesome!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Alton has done it again! I must admit the cooking time scared me. 2 minutes, that seemed way to short. So I ended up cooking... them for 2 and half minutes. RESIST the temptation, they were slightly over done. Be sure to serve them as soon as possible as well. Don't let them sit in there packages for to long. But still 5 stars for this wonderful recipe!!Read more
