How to cook crab legs:
Cooking crab legs is easy - add 2-3 inches of water to a pot big enough to fit frozen crab legs. Add a teaspoon of salt to water. When the water boils, add
crab legs. Cover with lid, or with aluminum foil if crab legs are sticking up. When the water begins to boil again, steam king crab legs for 15 minutes, and
snow crab legs for 10 minutes. Depending on the quantity of crab you are cooking, it may take some time to bring the water back to a boil after adding
your frozen crab. If your crabs have a kind of glaze or shine to them (covered with ice), add 5 minutes to your steaming time. Drain the water and let the crab
legs sit covered for a few minutes before serving.
King Crab Trivia:
King crabs, also called stone crabs, are a family of crab like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. The King crabs large size means that many species
of king crab are widely caught and sold as food.
King crabs are generally believed to be derived from hermit crab ancestors, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms. Although some
doubt still exists about this theory, king crabs are the most widely quoted example of carcinisation among the Decapoda. The evidence for this explanation
comes from the asymmetry of the king crab's abdomen, which is thought to reflect the asymmetry of hermit crabs, which must fit into a spiral shell.
