@@deedranott3848 Your not cooking them, you are just warming them up from their frozen state.

@@metrork1 lol it just a saying, like if I have a can of stew or chilly and put it in a pot to cook for dinner, I’d still say I cooked it for dinner, even though I did not make it from scratch, I just heated it up from it’s room temperature status.

[@squirrellyacres]

I think you need just a little bit more Old Bay lol, can't go wrong with adding Old Bay Looks tasty.

[@pattineedham9094]

How does the Old Bay get to the meat through the shell?

[@doingthingswithedubb5428]

Trust me from the amount of steam heating them up that won't be a problem because the old bay will be stuck to your fingers once you start eating. I wouldn't advise adding any old bay after they are done steaming unless you really love the taste of that seasoning!

[@Hailknow1]

It seeps into the steam n goes thru joints

[@KendalandBenson]

You need a few more containers of old bay

[@metrork1]

How is this seasoning to get through all that shell. Me, I prefer the natural flavor of the snow crab not buried under all that extra seasoning. Just my preference. To each their own. Just keep in mind when you buy them from your local grocery store that they already come precooked.

[@doingthingswithedubb5428]

In the south we like a lot of seasoning and old bay is the OG for crab legs in south, but everyone is different and some like them plain as well . This applies to all food ,as for pre cooked I usually don't go that route I rather cook them alive but they are hard to find for good price

[@danr5239]

What’s the point of the old Bay? You’re not eating the shell. It’s not going to sleep inside into the meat.

[@CheMalik]

As you touch the crab shell to crack it the seasonings will get on your hand. When you pull the meat out it’ll get on the meat and boom seasonings

[@danr5239]

@@CheMalik - then just sprinkle a little old bey in the melted butter. Then you won’t waste so much seasoning.

[@darkMuffin31]

Why are you putting so much seasoning on the shell? Are you eating the shell?

[@doingthingswithedubb5428]

Most people eat crab legs with there hands so with most of the season on the shell u get added flavor in each bit from the season all over your fingers from touching the shell to crack them open ... Pro tip !!!

[@darkMuffin31]

@@doingthingswithedubb5428 would it make more sense to put the seasoning in your hands or on the meat instead of directly on the shell?

Season salt , pepper and some lite garlic powder not garlic salt

[@bstewart41520]

Tony's chaseres. I think that's more of a Louisiana thing. But trust me order some. For anything it's why I can't leave this godforsaken wasteland of a state

[@Taricus]

Sometimes I do the same thing and forget to buy some specific seasoning, but luckily, it's usually stuff you have on hand anyways. If you don't have all of it, you can make substitutions or leave some stuff out too. These are the ingredients in Old Bay seasoning though. Just adjust to the amount you need, but keep the proportions kind of the same, adjusted for taste ^~^ Also, seasoning salt has a lot of those things already in it too, so if you have it on hand, just look at the ingredient list and see what your brand already has, and you can use that in place of some of the stuff (not all of them have the same ingredients) 2 tablespoons celery salt 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 pinch dry mustard 1 pinch ground nutmeg 1 pinch ground cinnamon 1 pinch ground cardamom 1 pinch ground allspice 1 pinch ground cloves 1 pinch ground ginger

[@yaniejones]

Instead of water, try beer - makes all the difference

i have done them both ways, my guess is its up to the user to choose if they can afford the more expensive route or have time time to do them fresh and freeze them. either way thanks for your input!

Uhh how much water goes in the pot

Nice video. How many minutes did you cook the crab legs?

If frozen 10-14 on med-high heat ... if thawed 7-10 med-low heat with 1 and half cup of water

But how long do they take to steam

10-12 if frozen, 7-10 if thawed you can use water, 2 cups but if you want beer is a great substitute with seafood seasoning and a few bay leaves
