Cooking Tips & Recipes
For best results, cook from frozen. Do not refreeze. Product is already cooked, so simply reheat and enjoy.
Steam: (recommended)
Place legs in a shallow baking dish with 1/8 inch water. Cover with foil and bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. Enjoy immediately.
Grilled:
Lightly oil all sides of each leg, then grill at 300°F for 5 minutes on each side.
Boil: (our least favorite method)
Fill a large pot halfway with water and a Tablespoon of salt before bringing to a boil. Add crab legs and reduce heat to medium. Let simmer for 6 minutes. This is our least favorite method because the hot water leeches the flavor out of the crab.
