• What do you need

1 When buying crab legs, keep in mind that you will need a very large saucepan for cooking. They only bend at the joints, and you need to place them entirely in the pan.

2 Thaw the crab legs thoroughly. Put them in the refrigerator overnight and cover.

• Most often, crab legs are sold pre-cooked, so you don't have to cook them for very long. However, they are also most commonly sold frozen to keep them fresh.
• If your feet are still fresh after a night in the refrigerator, place them in a large bowl. Place the bowl in the sink and turn on the cold water. Water your feet with water until they are completely defrosted.

3 Fill the largest pot with cold water. It should be 2/3 full.

4 Add about 1 tsp to the water. l. (6 g) salt.

5 Turn on a strong fire. Bring water to a boil.

6 Put your feet on. Place your feet in boiling water. Be careful not to burn yourself with hot water.

• If the water has stopped boiling. Bring it to a boil again as soon as you put all the crab legs in the pot.

7 Boil your legs for 4-5 minutes.

8 Remove the legs of the crab with long metal tongs. Place them in a bowl to dry.

9 Use kitchen scissors to cut each leg of the crab. Serve one leg to each guest.

• It is necessary for each guest to serve seafood forks so that they can get the meat out of the shell.

10 Melt 1 tbsp for each guest.l. (15 ml) butter... Also serve a few slices of lemon so guests can season the crab meat to their liking.

• You may want to serve refined butter with the dish. Once you've melted the butter, let it sit for 4 minutes. Strain it through cheesecloth to remove debris. Serve clarified butter to guests.
