Drop 2 Dungeness crabs into boiling water in a large kettle or stockpot. Simmer about 10 minutes and drain. When crabs are cool enough to handle, break off claws andd extract meat with a small fork or pick. Pull off the top shell and break off the legs. Scrape away the gills and remove internal organs carefully. Pick out as much meat as you can find in the body and legs.From "Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook."
