How long does it take to steam pike crabs for 10~15 minutes?
How long it takes to steam pike crabs depends on the individual, the larger the individual the longer it takes, for example, steaming pike crabs up to 3 taels can be steamed for 10 minutes after the water is boiled, steaming pike crabs between 3 and 4 taels should be steamed for 12 minutes after the water is boiled, steaming pike crabs over 4 taels should be steamed for 15 minutes after the water is boiled, the easiest way to calculate this is to start from 3 taels to be steamed for 10 minutes. The easiest way to calculate this is to start with 10 minutes for 3 taels and 2 minutes for every 1 tael.
Steaming pike crabs can use cold water, with cold water steaming out of the pike crab color, appearance and beautiful and not easy to break legs, especially after the frozen pike crab must use cold water to steam, so that when steaming can be gradually thawed so that the pike crab evenly heated.
Steaming pike crab can also use hot water, with hot water to steam out of the pike crab can better lock the pike crab's fresh flavor, while also avoiding the pike crab nutrient loss, in addition to hot water steaming pike crab time is often much shorter than cold water.
Pike Crab Habitat
In nature, the pike crab inhabits the offshore shallow sea, inhabits the water depth of 10-50 meters in the sea area, in the 10-30 meters of mud and sandy substrate in the sea area of the most dense group. Portunus trituberculatus hibernates in the deeper seabed in winter. Portunus trituberculatus is a wide temperature aquatic animal, its suitable growth water temperature of 17-30 ℃, the optimal growth water temperature of 25-28 ℃, when the water temperature is lower than 6 ℃ when the portunus crab into hibernation.
The low-temperature lethal temperature is -1.5℃, and the high-temperature lethal temperature is 35℃. Portunus trituberculatus has wide salinity, its suitable growth salinity is 10-35 ‰, the optimal salinity is 25-30 ‰. Pike crabs have a strong ability to withstand drying, in the temperature of 20 ℃, can be exposed to dry 8 hours without dying, 2-4 ℃ conditions can be exposed to dry 26 hours without dying.
