Thumbs up

Watermans sells JO. I agree the best way to cook em is just dump a 6 pack of your favorite beer in the pot and steam away!!!!!!! sweet and succulent every time!

If not, they should. Great stuff! My dad loves it and we've switched from Old Bay.

Here's how I do 'em:

3 beers (2 for the pot)
Water
1 cup white vinegar
Alot of crab seasoning
A little Crab Boil

I clean the crabs prior to cooking(remove top shell, lungs and mustard). It allows the spices to penetrate the lump and backfin meat alot better.

Wait until they turn orange, and they're ready to go.
