Method 1: cut the knife at the navel tip and hold it with the tip of the knife, and the crab will soon die. You can also insert a needle, a long bamboo stick or chopsticks into the crab's mouth. After a while, the crab died. At this time, put the crab into the steamer again, and no matter how steamed, it will not fall down again.

Method 2: Before steaming, insert a knife in the middle of its eyes, or poke about 1 cm in the middle of the crab foam with a thick metal needle, and then stir it left and right, so that the legs will not fall off when steaming.

Method 3: The most common problem of steaming crabs is that they will fall off their feet. Whether it is boiling water or cold water, or tying crabs in a pot, they will fall off their feet after steaming. The trick to keep steamed crabs from falling is to kill them before steaming. So you won't feel the stimulation of the outside world. You wouldn't have lost your leg.

Matters needing attention in steaming crabs

1. When steaming crabs, use cold water instead of boiling water. This is because steaming crabs in cold water can not only lock the delicate flavor and moisture of crabs, but also give crabs a process of gradually adapting to the water temperature, and will not struggle violently because of sudden heating, resulting in leg loss. Crabs steamed in cold water are especially fresh and tender.

2. When steaming crabs, put the opposite white belly in the steamer. This is also to prevent crabs from crawling around in the pot after encountering hot air, resulting in yellowing and broken legs. Crab yolk is not fat enough to eat crabs.
