We just steam to warm them up and then begin taking them apart with crab crackers, eating from the legs, claws and top of the clusters as we go. We deal with shell last - my sister throws hers away, but i like the crab butter, myself, which i typically just spoon into my mouth from the shell. i’ve never rinsed! i know, i’m a barbarian. I do get rid of the gills.
