How can I reheat King Crab Legs?

I just bought 2 King Crab Legs. They are already cooked but need reheating. How do I do this?|||Thaw and rinse them. Get a pot large enough to hold them. Add water and lightly salt. Put the legs in the pot and bring to a boil. By the time boil is reached, they're hot enough to eat. Serve with drawn or melted butter (drawn is melted butter that has the fat globules skimmed off).|||i usually loosly wrap in foil and bake them at about 375 until thier to my likeing.|||Emeril says to wrap the crab legs in 2 layers of damp paper towels then wrap in plastic %26amp; microwave on high for 2 minutes. I have always had them steamed in a pot but this sounds much easier %26amp; takes away the guesswork about when they are done! Enjoy....king crablegs are one of my most fav foods in the whole wide world!!!!|||microwave them?|||Very gently or you will lose the delicate flavor and texture of the crab.

FYI: Drawn butter:


Drawn butter is different from clarified butter in that instead of being pure milk fat, which is clarified butter, drawn butter is a hot emulsion of the whey proteins and milk fat, like a beurre monte. The emulsion is stabilized by the liason of flour.





1/3 cup butter


11/2 cups hot water


3 tablespoons flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/8 teaspoon pepper





Melt one-half the butter, add flour with seasonings, and pour on gradually hot water. Boil five minutes, and add remaining butter in small pieces.


Mmmm, I'd love to be invited to your next crab dinner...|||put a 1/4 of a cup of water in a pot and heat at low to med until it starts to steam put your legs in and let them heat for about 5 min maybe more just keep an eye on it
