How to deal with blue crabs quickly and without cruelty?
First of all, the blue crabs received by many kitchen friends should be tied with ropes in this way but still full of vitality (please communicate with the crab seller in time if you are obviously dying). Answer: this is just the kind of person who dances with a big tie all day after unpacking at home, and even a small piece of foam box has been dug away.

Take a chopstick and put it in the pool (otherwise, although I'm tied, I always think he's going to pinch me), and turn over the shell of the blue crab (this step sounds simple, and it's been turned over for a long time. This fellow is really strong. )
The key step is to find a sharp knife, aim at the position above the "breastplate" of the abdomen while catching the crab, and insert it with a little force (it should be said that this is only the male crab, this is the position in the picture, and the same is true for the female crab). Action must be firm, a knife to the end, in fact, the shell over there is very thin, those who can't open the bottle cap of mineral water can still get it in place with a knife. After about 30 seconds, it was obvious that the crab stopped moving.

When waiting for 30 seconds, you can pour the water into the pot, add cooking wine, ginger slices and orange peel, put it on the steaming rack, and light the water to boil. Don't draw a knife, hold the handle in your left hand and brush in your right hand, and wash the crab quickly (quickly, don't shake it violently to avoid leaving juice). You can tear off the "breastplate" and wash part of the crab intestines.
Pull out the knife and put the crab shell down (crab shell down! Get down. ) on the steamer, it should be said that this is more than a catty. Steam for 15 minutes, dip it and you can eat.

In fact, some legs of this steamed crab will move, but it will never hurt people. It is very fresh. Crabs have a lot of meat on their pliers and legs. It's a surprise to get more pliers to clamp one.
skill
When washing, just take off the "breastplate". If it's steamed, you don't have to go first. When eating, remove the gills and crab hearts together. And absolutely, absolutely don't boil it in water! ! Crab yolk will flow into the soup, so you can't eat anything.
