Probably all microwaves have their own personality. Made good fat snowcrab. From frozen put on 2 min, then had to add another 2, and then they were spotty, warm and cold, so had to add another minute.<br />Maybe my fault, as if 2 min is for one set of 3 legs, then I needed more time as I had for paper tolled legs.<br />On another note, curious if anyone knows. Our crab legs came out very salty, and we did not add any. Could that be a result of microwave cooking, or it has nothing to do with the microwave?
