Frozen Dungeness Crab is ready to eat when you receive them! It has already been cooked & brine frozen. You can enjoy it hot or cold! Dungeness Crab is available as Whole Cooked Crab and as Crab Sections (Clusters). What's the difference?

Whole Cooked Crab - The whole crab is cooked from live, quick chilled & brine frozen. They are then located in poly bags. When you receive the crab, they should be re-heated in a steamer (think spaghetti pot with strainer) or oven at 400 F under tented foil. It will take 9-12 minutes to get the interior climatic characteristic of the crab to 165 F. The crab can be steamed from frosty or thawed, cleaned and steamed. Do Not Over Cook The Crab! It is already cooked so you just want to re-heat it. If you steam or bake them for too long, you are cooking them twice and the end effect will be stringy crab meat!

Directions:

Cleaning the Crab:

Hold the Crab in your left hand (claws towards the left) and place your right hand on the back of the top shell.

Put your right thumb under the shell and pull up. The whole top shell should take off in one piece. (Clean & save the shell for an oven baked side dish or ramekin for dipping sauce.)

Pull the green gill material off the inside of the opened Crab.

Next, there is a small "V" section of lower Crab shell in the back that cab be removed with your thumb as well.

Remove the loose brown material from the town of the crab.

Rinse the Crab in Cold Water for a few seconds; this will take off the remainder of the brine & internal pieces.

Heating the Crab before serving:

Take your Spaghetti Pot with Strainer inside, 2 or 3 cups of water in the bottom, bring to a boil and steam crab for about 9-12 minutes (Whole Crab) or 6-9 minutes (Cleaned Crab).

Oven or Bbq method:

Place Crab in a foil lined baking pan or Pyrex dish. Add about 3/8 inch water to the pan bottom.

Cover with an aluminum foil tent.

Place in pre-heated Oven or Bbq at 400 degrees for about 9-12 minutes (Whole Crab) or 6-9 minutes (Cleaned Crab). (165 degree internal temperature)

Dungeness Crab Sections (Clusters) - Most of the work is done for you! The crab may be butchered from live then cooked or cooked as whole crab and then cleaned. Dungeness Sections consist of all the edible quantum of the crab. Since they are cleaned before freezing, you may enjoy them hot or cold! If you want to eat them cold, just thaw in the refrigerator, rinse over the sink to take off the brine and eat! The crab can be steamed from frosty or thawed and steamed. It will take 6-9 minutes to get the interior climatic characteristic of the crab to 165 F. It is already cooked so you just want to re-heat it. If you steam or bake them for too long, you are cooking them twice and the end effect will be stringy crab meat!

Directions:

Heating the Crab Sections before serving:

Take your Spaghetti Pot with Strainer inside, 2 or 3 cups of water in the bottom, bring to a boil, add crab & steam for 6-9 minutes. Depending on either you are steaming thawed or steaming from frozen.

Oven or Bbq method:

Place Crab in a foil lined baking pan or Pyrex dish. Add about 3/8 inch water to the pan bottom.

Cover with an aluminum foil tent.

Place in pre-heated Oven or Bbq at 400 degrees for 6-9 minutes depending on either you are steaming thawed or steaming from frozen. (about as long as a medium rare steak) (165 degree internal temperature)

Enjoy!

How To Fix a Frost - Free Refrigerator That Is Leaking Water

A common qoute with some frost free refrigerators is water leakage out of the refrigerator. This strangeness qoute leads to puddles in the lowest of the refrigerator and on the floor in front of it. Seems like a pretty strange thing for a frost free refrigerator to experience. What could be causing it, and what to do about it?

That kind of fridge periodically goes straight through a defrost cycle. The blower goes off, the compressor goes off, and a heater comes on in the freezer. This melts the frost off the evaporator coil and the resulting water runs down a drain that is located in the back of the freezer under the freezer covers.

Down the drain...

Except that if the freezer has not been kept scrupulously clean, stuff can get under the covers and block that drain. In this case, the water backs up and freezes. Then it builds up. Eventually, the ice in the freezer under the cover has reached the point where, when the defrost cycle comes on, the water runs out into the refrigerator portion.

Mid sized Kelvinators and White-Westinghouse refrigerators are particularly susceptible to this problem, although I have seen it in other brands.

To solve the qoute you have to take the covers off inside the freezer. Chip out the ice, and clean out the drain.

Some habitancy have had success with wrapping a copper wire around the heater in the freezer and directing the end of that wire down the drain. The idea is that the copper wire will divert extra heat to the drain opening while the defrost cycle, and this will help preclude the formation of the ice plug which ultimately causes the backup. Also, the wire sticking down into the drain acts to keep objects that have migrated straight through the vents (thing like onion skins, or small pieces of paper or plastic) from the freezer from thoroughly outside the drain and blocking it.

How to Fix a Warped Door

A warp in a door does not found overnight - it happens gradually, so the sooner you notice, the easier it is to correct. The first real sign may be the door not end properly, or the lock failing to work.

Doors made from badly seasoned timber are particularly prone to warping, though once you have corrected the warp it is unlikely to return. However, in some instances the warping is caused by exterior factors - such as a radiator sited too close to the door, or bad ventilation. If you presume that this is the case, take steps to deal with the external problems or the warp may recur.

If the warp is not too severe, there are any ways of forcing the door against the twist. Some of these, however, need the door to be kept shut and in many cases this is not convenient.

If you can keep the door shut, wedging it shut against the warp for a few days may well prove to be effective.

To do this, look along the door to check the extent of the warp. Then, with the door just touching the doorstop, measure the gap between the door and stop at the widest point and cut a wooden block slightly larger than this gap. Fit the block at the point where the door and stop shut, so that it touches the stop at top and bottom. If leaving the door shut isn't possible, you can either try altering the position of the hinge on the door frame to take up the twist (see diagram), or else alter the doorstop. How you do this depends on either you have a stop which is a isolate piece of wood nailed on (planted) or one cut out of the wood of the door frame itself (rebated). If you have a planted stop, close the door and cut a block of wood slightly larger than the widest gap. Run the block down the edge of the door marking the stop with a pencil. Prise the stop off. Loosen with an old chisel then pull away from the frame with your hands. Plane the stop then refit it flush with the door.

A rebated stop forms part of the door frame and can't be removed. Instead you have to add a shaped piece to the stop to fill the gap.

To do this, measure the length of the gap between the door and stop. Then measure the width at the widest point.

Cut a wedge to these dimensions (see diagram) and nail it to the stop at the suitable point. Once the wedge is in position, trim it again until you get a exquisite fit.

The remedies above only work if the door has warped at the top or bottom corner. If it has warped in the centre you will have to cut a curved wedge tapered at both ends.

Another way to deal with this problem, if you can take off the door, is to try laying it flat, supported on two chairs, bowed side up. Place some heavy weights on top and leave it for a few days.
