Why - a better way is to steam them. I prefer use this technique from the Food Network chef Alton Brown:
(I like to use snow crab legs, a side for each package. If you use King crab legs, 1 per.)
Have all the rest of the menu before you put them in the micro. Melted butter, salad, pilaf, whatever.
Rinse the legs under running water.
Wrap the legs in 2 wraps of paper towels, wet/dampen under faucet, and then squeeze out excess water.
Don't just shake - squeeze! (you'll have to wrestle a little with king crab legs to get them in a small package)
Wrap the legs in 2 wraps (or more) of plastic wrap, making sure that the packages are COMPLETELY closed.
Place 1 package in the microwave and micro on HI for 2:20 minutes. (2 Min 20 Secs)
Take package out, carefully. it will be HOT. (Toss another in if making more)
Cut the package open with scissors - watch out for steam!.
Plate and eat.
I usually make a little filet mignon to go with this. We haven't eaten crab legs at a restaurant since I started doing them this way.
