In this post, you’ll learn all about how to make crab with different methods like how to boil crab, how to steam crab, how long to cook crab, and more.
How to Steam Crab
We recommend this method since it keeps the delicious flavors in comparison to boiling.
In a large pot, bring an inch of salted water to boil. Then, put the crab in a steamer basket. Cover the pot and cook them for about fifteen minutes. How long to steam crabs is determined by the size of the crab. If the crab is large, steam for longer than 15 minutes. Then, remove the crab from the pot and let them cool before serving.
How to Boil Crab
How long do you boil live crab? Start by bringing water to a boil, and add salt and any other seasoning you’d like. Then, add the crab to the water quickly bringing the water back up to a boil, and cook until the crab floats for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the crab from the water and let them cool before serving.
