can cut each half again
Wash and crack the claws. The red dot on the inside of the crab claw is the best place to crack the section with the nipper. For the rear section of the claw crack near the knuckle.
Place the crab in a covered dish in a steamer or microwave and re-heat for 60 to 90 seconds (Note this is subject to the microwave power). You can also add the sauce at this stage or heat sauce or garnish and ladle over warmed crab.
