* A 6 oz. defrosted package of frozen crab meat yields 4 oz. (Defrost for 5:00
minutes.)
* 3 or 4 cooked whole crabs yields 4 oz. of crab meat.
NOTES: Cooking times are for a 700-watt oven. Be sure to use fresh or frozen
crab when creating the recipe below. It really makes a difference in the taste!
Another reason I am including this recipe is because it solves the mystery of
hard cooking an egg in the microwave.. Yes, you can do it, but you must remove
it from the shell (unless you want an exploding egg in your microwave)! Just
follow the instructions in the first part of the recipe.
