I don't have a steamer!
The crabs have old bay on them & I don't want to lose the flavor!

Make a steamer
Take your collander (pasta strainer) and completely line with foil except for the bottom.
Take a soup pot and put water in the bottom
Place your collander on top (as if you were making a double boiler)
Bring water to a boil
Place your crabs in the collander
Put a soup pot lid on the top or cover with foil.
Steam for just a few minutes so they don't sog up.
Remove from the collander.
This is also a good way to reheat pulled por, jerk pork, chicken.... )

You should never steam them in the first place BECAUSE it is difficult to actually reheat them AND retain flavor.
Steaming IS for reheating... at home anyway.
I cook them Italian style and kill and clean them before cooking and sort of fry them in garlic spices and oil (in all ready cleaned pieces) then incorporate a light fish stock to deglaze and simmer them in, which you can actually use to reheat them afterward if you save it.
I hate steamed crabs and don't really believe that "Old Bay" does them any justice what so ever.

Not really. I'd suggest picking the meat, making either a creamy mushroom or spicy tomato sauce and folding the crab meat into the hot sauce. Serve over rice or pasta. If I'd been there no crabs would have been left today!

Steam again. Or wrap in moist towel and warm in microwave.

I would drop them back in some boiling water for a few minutes.

I think a minute in the microwave would work.
