how to cook crabs
steam crabs
- cook same day: best flavor + safest
- keep it simple: the steam does the work—seasoning finishes it
steps
- set up the pot: add 1–2 inches of water (or half water + half vinegar/beer), place a steamer rack above the liquid
- bring to a boil: cover and get the liquid boiling hard so the steam is strong
- add crabs: carefully place live crabs on the rack (don’t submerge), cover immediately
- steam time: steam 15–20 minutes once it’s back to steaming - (bigger crabs = closer to 20.)
- season: turn off heat, uncover carefully, and sprinkle seasoning over the crabs, toss gently
- rest + serve: let them sit 2 minutes, then serve hot with butter, lemon, or vinegar
- leftovers: pick the meat and refrigerate in a sealed container - best eaten within 1–2 days
