An introduction: When steaming crabs, make sure to put them in a pot of cool water so that the legs are not easily dislodged. The edible crabs must be steamed and boiled thoroughly. Because the crab is grown in the silt, the body often with some toxins, in order to prevent these disease-causing microorganisms invade the human body, in the consumption of crabs must be steamed and cooked through. Depending on the size of the crab, it is appropriate to steam the crab for 8-10 minutes after the water has boiled and the meat is ripe but not too rotten. This is when the crab meat is most tender and flavorful. If the time is short, the crab meat will not be cooked, and if the time is long, the crab meat will be old and unpalatable. (Note: Both the brain and lungs of the crab should not be eaten.)
