I had some larger king crab legs that were fully cooked and frozen like usual. instead of steaming I decided to keep the mess and smell outside so I fired up the FEC-120 with some apple pellets and set it to 350º I put the legs into a large foil turkey sized pan with 1/4" of water in the bottom.
I seasoned what I could with salt and pepper put the probe into the thickest shell part of one of the legs and let it cook till the internal temp was 150-155º
I left them in the pan and put it in the oven at 170º (low as it goes) served them with fresh lemons and melted butter, we did have a fresh baguette,some veges & slaw but we ate mainly crab.
We just pulled a leg or two at a time from the oven as we needed so they would stay warm. We both thought you could definitely taste a subtle smoke on them and it was a nice addition it was also much easier that steaming.
Next time I may slit the legs and add the AMNPS for a little extra smoke and try to get more seasoning on them.
Frozen
Cooked
Remains!
