Add a pinch (116tsp (0.31ml)) of salt for every 12c (2.8l) of water in a large saucepan or cooking pot. Fill a 18tsp (0.62ml) measuring spoon halfway to measure a pinch of salt. Or, simply grab as much salt that will fit between your index finger and thumb. Place the saucepan or pot on a large burner (gas or electric) on the stove. Turn the burner up to high and wait until many bubbles are floating to the surface or the water and looks like it is "rolling." The time this will take will vary depending on the amount of water you use, the surface area of the pot, and salinity of the water. However, expect 12c (2.8l) of water to take about 7 to 10 minutes to boil. Slowly move the saucepan off of the burner and onto a room temperature area of the stove such as a burner that is turned off. You can also move it onto a pot holder. This will bring the water to a temperature that will ensure the meat does not become overcooked. You can also use oven mitts to grasp the claws and gently place them in the pot of hot water. Once the claws are in the water, cover the pot. Quickly throwing them in could create splashes that could potentially burn the skin. Make sure you do not leave the claws in the hot water for more than 5 minutes. This will make the crab meat too tough. Keep in mind that every 2lb (0.91kg) of crab claws will give you about 1lb (0.45kg) of meat. Pick up each crab claw and place it on a cutting board or plate. The plate does not have to be the serving plate. Put the claw in between the 2 metal arms of the cracker. Then, squeeze the two metal arms together until you feel and hear the shell crack. Repeat this process until you can open it completely. Using a crab fork, regular fork, or knife, remove the crab meat from inside of the claw. Consider wearing oven mitts to protect your hands because the claws will still be very hot. Depending on the dish you are preparing, you may choose to leave the meat in large chunks or to break it up into smaller pieces for a shredded presentation.

Article: In the U.S. at least, if you want your group home to succeed, you need the supervisory local and state (and perhaps federal) agencies to be "on your side." Without active government support, you will struggle to find residents, keep abreast of licensing rules and regulations, and get the proper financial reimbursements for your work. In California, for example, a group home for children must have the written support of the host county (among other requirements) to be eligible for essential reimbursement funding via the AFDC-FC program. Connecticut, as another representative example, has regulations for group homes covering areas ranging from telephone service to clean bathrooms. You are likely to need all the help you can get in navigating through the red tape necessary to start a group home. It is difficult to be anything but general here, because every U.S. state (and possibly even county) has its own licensing procedures for starting and operating a group home. You will need to be proactive in ensuring that you complete all the necessary steps. Just to name a few of the multitude of examples: In California, group homes for children are licensed by the state Department of Social Services (CDSS). In Florida, the Department of Health provides information but not licensing for group homes; that responsibility lies (depending on the nature of the facility) with either the Agency for Health Care Administration or the Department of Children and Families (DCF). In Connecticut, the Department of Developmental Services (formerly the Department of Mental Retardation) handles licensing for group homes for the mentally disabled. State licensing for your facility is likely only the start of the process. You may need to be personally licensed as a Certified Administrator of Group Homes, for instance. Do you know the requirements for health and food inspections in Florida? Or fire marshal's certification in Connecticut? Or first aid / CPR training requirements for your employees, regardless of where you are located? And what kind of business permits do you need? It can seem like an endless maze of bureaucracy. Start by contacting your local (such as county) department of health, or human services, or social services, or whatever other unit seems most likely to deal with the operation of group homes in your area. Step up to the state and federal levels as warranted. Ask lots of questions, and be very patient. Remember why you want to render this valuable service to your community. It can never hurt to solicit guidance from existing group home operators as well. Depending upon your location, one or both of these may not be legally necessary, but they are essential steps nonetheless. Take every opportunity to protect the time, effort, and money you are investing in your group home. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, establishing non-profit status in the U.S. is not a quick and easy process. You need to create a corporate entity by filing Articles of Incorporation with your state, then begin work on the lengthy Form 1023 provided by the IRS, then, if approved, circle back to the state level to ensure your exemption from state taxation. You may find it beneficial to hire an attorney well-versed in this process. Check to determine whether your state requires insurance coverage for your group home, but make sure you obtain sufficient insurance covering liability, fire, and theft, among other areas. No matter the size of your planned group home, you're going to need to hire some help. Before actually engaging in the hiring process, though, it is advisable to "put your ducks in a row" regarding the various forms and requirements. This SBA article and this IRS publication are good starting points regarding the paperwork and recordkeeping required to hire an employee in the U.S. The many requirements include: Completing Form I-9, which verifies an employee's eligibility to work in the U.S. Providing Form W-4, which determines federal tax withholding for each employee. Determining your individual state's requirements regarding new hire reporting, tax reporting, and worker's compensation insurance. Establishing a functional record-keeping operation so you can keep track of your many responsibilities as an employer.
