I bought a couple of crabs to steam in my rice cooker.. but when I brought them home, I found that they were too big and would not fit in my cooker. I guess my cooker is a bit small... I also do not have any oversized pots or pans and the only thing I have a huge wok. What can I do??

Fill the bottom of the wok with water, bring to a boil, and drop the crabs in. Cover with tinfoil. They will likely not touch the water and steam just the same as they would in the rice cooker. Just be careful to check and make sure the water doesn't cook down to nothing.

Stretch a wire cookie sheet over the top of your wok, add water, cover, and bring to a boil. When boiling, lay your crab on the rack and cover w/ the lid. You may need to throw a clean dish towel over it to help hold in steam. 15 min or so each ought to do you.

You can break the crab up into pieces and steam

you're gonna have to find a bigger pot, maybe cook them one at a time. if they are alive, which they should be, they need to be at a really rapid boil when they go in or else they'll suffer. make sure they're fully submerged. maybe ask a neighbor if they have a large pot you can borrow?
