Buying the crabs is easy, cooking them is a problem!! There are seven crabs to be cleansed and cooked, that is the real problem for Reanaclaire in this small kitchen with small pots and utensils. Eventually I have to use three different forms of cooking these messy crabs. LOL...
I ended up baking four in the oven, one in the multi cooker and two over the gas stove! Oh my goodness, it was real messy and I don't think I want to do that again unless someone takes over the cleaning, brushing and cooking up the crabs. No wonder they charge more outside... LOL..
OH, I forgot to mention this... The "vampire-styled slaying" was not done by me, I could not bring myself to do it... I am only in charge of bathing them up and making them edible... LOL..
Cleaning and brushing the shells.... takes a lot of time and effort!
Especially big ones... oh yes, needs a lot of hammering too!
Ended up baking and comes out like these...
Too much flesh and messy!!
No wonder some do not like to eat crabs... they need too much fingers on them...
Our dinner on that night...
Mary brought over some Greece food!
One for the album before we dig into the food!
Are they live crabs? I do not dare to touch live crabs
ReplyDeleteI bet they were so thankful for all your hard work. Oh MY, it is a good thing you have so much energy. I would NEVER tackle such a job!

ReplyDeleteI love crabs and I don't mind the messy job of cleaning. Best of all I don't mind getting my fingers messy to enjoy eating them. You did an amazing job cooking for your guests.
