Perfectly Cooked Crab Legs

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Keep a maximum of 2 days after thawing—eat as soon as possible after thawing.

King crab legs are cooked on the boat to preserve their freshness. You need only warm them through prior to eating.

In the oven: Lay out in a single layer on a cookie sheet or other shallow baking dish. Add 1/2” of HOT liquid—we recommend white wine. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes.

On the stove: Bring 2” of water (add white wine if you wish) to a large stockpot. Bring to a boil. Use of a steamer basket is recommended but not necessary. Add the crab legs—put the lid on. Crab legs are done when you can smell them, about 5 minutes.
