1, boiling: first add cold water to the pot, boil the water, and then put the crab in and cook for about 8 minutes. If the crab is bigger, you can slightly increase the cooking time. If boiled in cold water at the beginning, the crab shell will crack easily, and the nutrition and taste inside will be lost a lot. And start from scratch, put it in and cook it. If it takes too long, the taste of meat will get old.

2. Steaming: For people living by the sea, the most perfect way to cook crabs is steaming, because it can keep the original flavor of crabs. It is best to steam crabs in cold water for 8 to 10 minutes. Because of this time control, crab meat is the most delicious and refreshing. If the steaming time is too short, the crab will not be cooked, and if the steaming time is too long, the meat will get old. In addition, remember to steam the crab on the back, so as to ensure that the crab yellow does not leak out.

3, braised: braised crabs are actually a method often used at home. It is most suitable for people who don't have a steamer at home. You can eat crabs with slow fire. Add cold water to the pot, boil it, add washed crabs, add a little salt and peanut oil, and the taste will be more refreshing. When the crab shell turns red and ripe, you can add your favorite side dishes, and then you can cook.
