Just cooked king crab on high broil...10 minutes each side...BEST I'VE EVER HAD

[@bigounce5893]

“No need to pay expensive prices at restraunts” 😑😑. The crab legs themself is expensive weither you like it or not.

[@Thestayathomechef]

haha but it is WAY cheaper when you make it at home.

[@bigounce5893]

The Stay At Home Chef yeah it makes since after a while

[@smittywurban4485]

I make my money back at crableg buffet haha

[@omahabigbill2789]

You might want to spell restaurant correctly the next time, and crab legs are plural: Hence "the crab legs themselves ARE expensive, and good Lord you spelled whether wrong too!

[@StepAwayVro]

Omahabigbill shut up boomer

[@jordanlevin8]

we dont really eat snow crab in maryland. we eat blue crab. with that being said, we also put old bay on everything from eggs to pizza to beer can tops.

[@henrygann8101]

Jordan Levin Are you being serious about putting Old Bay beer can tops? That actually sounds like something I’d like to try. The idea has never crossed my mind, but now I can’t get it out of my mind.

[@jordanlevin8]

Henry Gann try it

[@keepingupwithliyah]

Yea I love those Maryland blue crabs

[@tytybaby06]

Jordan Levin Lol true but I do love snow crab legs as well

[@dannystratton7712]

That's funny, my uncle put salt on his beer top.

[@dellscatering975]

I usually use a fork. Just slide one prong into the shell and lift up. Perfect break every time.

Guys, please do not use your teeth to crack open your crab legs.

[@acatslifepisicaslife105]

I screamed no when I saw her do that. :(

[@Holstr221]

I was wondering if people ACTUALLY did that. I cringed

[@purpdajerk89]

@@acatslifepisicaslife105 I do. I be very cautious tho. Its a gamble. I did one time get the shell stab me In the mouth 😭

[@fluorcyl6112]

No kidding. You can break your teeth doing that. Buy a pair of crab crackers my God!

[@nykeralivinlife3917]

My family has been doing this for years. I grew up on seafood, and that side of my family is massive. We don’t have the cutesy stuff like clamps and scissors or “crab crackers” for everyone. Especially with the soft snow crab. We use our hands and teeth but we are always super careful (especially for claw ends). But it is what it is. Sorry lol 🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

Yes boiling or stemming the crab legs are the easiest, I told friend then we have to get crabmeat from shell to Alfredo Fettuccine with crabmeat, her next statement was do you have something to crack the crab shell!🤫🤫😴

Most crab you buy in store is already cooked- all good reheating methods though! Yum!

[@LaserCraftWorks]

All crab legs you buy are cooked. They don’t freeze it until it’s cooked because it spoils too fast. We don’t get soft shell crab around here. I’d love to try fresh!

Yep! 🙂 She did say that at the beginning.

[@tkinsey472]

I'm from the Midwest and had very little seafood when I was younger. When I tried to cook crab, I made two major mistakes. I overcooked the crab and made the shell soft so, it is a major problem to get the meat out of the crab. I added old bay seasoning to the boiling water, and it would foam over onto the range top. What a mess! -------- Thanks

are the crab legs frozen when you cook them?
