Generally speaking, it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to steam crabs in an ordinary pot, and it takes about 8 minutes to steam crabs in a pressure cooker.

2. In addition, when steaming crabs, it is necessary to decide how long to steam according to the size of the crabs. For example, it takes about 12 minutes to steam a crab with a weight of three or two, and about 10 minutes to steam a crab with a weight of less than three or two. For crabs with three or more crabs, one or two crabs will be added and steamed for about two minutes.

3. In addition to paying attention to the time of steaming crabs, it is best to steam crabs with cold water, so that the steamed crabs will be tender and have no fishy smell; If you steam crabs with hot water, they will be fishy and hard. When steaming crabs, be sure to tie their feet with cotton thread to prevent them from running away; Moreover, when steaming the mother crab, the crab belly must face upwards, so that the crab yolk will not be lost after the crab is cooked.
