2. Before cooking crabs, clean the crab shells and legs with a small brush, and put them in clean water for half a day to drain the dirt in the abdomen. Tip: before steaming, you can pour a proper amount of white wine on the live crabs for a little pickling, which will taste better.
3. When cooking hairy crabs, be sure to put cold water in the pot, so that the crab legs are not easy to fall off. Because hairy crabs grow in mud, they often carry some toxins in their bodies. In order to prevent these pathogenic microorganisms from invading the human body, they must be steamed and cooked thoroughly when eating crabs.
