If they are already cooked then you don't need to steam them. Just melt some butter, crack those crabs and enjoy!

i favor to steam them or bake. that is instructions on some procedures: To steam crab legs Pour 2 cups of water in a steamer or a huge pot, upload a million tablespoon of salt and convey to the boil. upload the crab legs, putting them onto a rack interior the bottom of the pan or into the steaming basket. because the water starts to boil back, initiate timing. Steam the crab legs for between 5 - 7 minutes, until eventually you may start to sniff their aroma and until eventually they are warmth. Take care now to not overcook the legs as they have already been cooked once. remove from the nice and cozy temperature and serve warm with melted butter and lemon wedges. To boil crab legs 0.5 fill a huge saucepan with chilly water and upload a tablespoon of sea salt and seasoning in case you want. carry the water to the boil and then drop the crab legs in. decrease the nice and cozy temperature somewhat and allow the crab legs to simmer and warm temperature up for 5 - 7 minutes. remove from the water and rinse the crab legs. Serve warm. To bake crab legs Preheat the oven to 350°F (one hundred and eighty°C). Crack the finished crab legs and position them on a baking tray.

They are already cooked? If so, all you need to do is to heat them up. But you don't want to re-cook them because they will get dry. Try the microwave for 1 minute. If still cold, then try another 30 seconds and so on. Enjoy! Crabs are the BEST!!!!!

Sure, all you need is a large pot and a metal strainer. Put a few cups of water in the pot, put the crabs in the strainer, cover and turn the heat on. Make sure the water is below the bottom of the strainer and don't let the pot burn. You'll all set.

never boil cooked crab! one, you will lose flavor and two it's just to easy to overcook it. if you feel you need it warm then melt some butter and then dip the crab meat in it. that will warm it slightly. if that isn't warm enough then make sure the butter is hot.
