I'd just eat 'em cold.  At that point I think they'd be better that way than trying to re-heat. JMO.  If I really wanted hot crabmeat at that point I'd pick 'em for cakes or a saute.

We used to put them in a paper bag and microwave them.  Now we prefer them cold.  Cool

I like 'em warm.  We just steam them for a little while.  Keeps the moisture in and heats them nicely.

you can get your steamer rolling again and toss them back in for 3-5 min. It will heat with out drying out I have done this many times, I like them cold, but there something about a hot fresh steamed crab... the crab houses resteam all the time but they seem to leave them in too long, hence why i crab for myself!!!

Cold is fine for me, however you can take off the top shell and remove the guts then place in the microwave for a few seconds on low power. Helps to put a damp paper towel over them.

I agree with the rest. Just steam them for another 5 minutes.

I nuke 'em lightly on 50-70% power.  Time will vary depending on your microwave, but I do no more than 3-5 at once.
