How do YOU cook crab legs?

[radioouman]

Just wondering.
350 in the oven for 8-9 minutes is all I can find. (I've never cooked them myself, but since they are available in the local grocery store, I thought I might try them.)

Legs only?

Get some live crabs and steam em to death.

Mmmm...putting them live in a pot of boiling water and hearing them scrape the sides of the pot is the best part.



Not that I would enjoy such a morbid thing....but they're oh so tasty!

with heat

yeah, about 10 min, no longer if fresh. if frozen, a bit longer. If you go the grocery store, there is a great little bag of spices that you pop in the water with em. it gives them a wonderful taste that is not too strong! MAKE SURE NOT TO OVER BOIL/STEAM!!!!

Never heard of putting them in the oven??
I always steam mine. A little old bay then dipped in butter.

mmmmmmm

Wow, great!! So boil or steam. I can get either fresh or frozen legs only. Not broken. Boiling seems pretty easy with some spices. Thanks!

Make it easy on yourself, that if you don't like it you could ask for something else.
