Crabs are delicious and popular with people. The simplest and most common way to cook crabs at home is steaming. But how long is the best time to steam crabs? If the steaming time is too short and the crab is not ripe, it may eat parasites on the crab, while if the steaming time is too long, the crab meat will lose its fresh and sweet taste and not be delicious enough. The timing of steaming crabs is very important. Let's see how long it takes to steam crabs.

Crabs are mainly steamed for family consumption. When steaming, the crab struggled because of the heat, and when it died, its abdomen was down, and yellow paste flowed out, losing a lot of nutrition. It is necessary to destroy the brain with a needle in advance and paralyze it. When steaming, the abdomen can be upward and the yellow paste will not be lost. This crab is infected with larvae of paragonimiasis. If it is not cooked, it is easy to get paragonimiasis after eating. Steam as soon as you want, and steam as much as you want. It is best not to eat leftover crabs. For crabs of average size, let the water boil for 20 minutes after boiling. You can kill all the parasites in it. However, if you encounter a particularly large crab, you need to increase the time as appropriate (the central temperature rises slowly).

Bian Xiao tip:

1, crabs had better not be steamed, as this will lose most of their umami flavor.

2, dead crabs must not be eaten, toxic.

3. If you want to steam (or cook) a complete crab (without losing ten feet), you can put the live crab in the freezer of the refrigerator, freeze it (be careful not to freeze it hard), and put it in boiling water to cook it directly.

Crab is a seafood that many people like to eat. It tastes delicious and refreshing. However, eating crabs should not be sloppy. Some things can't be eaten with crabs, which may cause adverse reactions such as food poisoning. Let's see what crabs can't eat with!

1, Persimmon: Crabs and persimmons are two things you can eat in autumn, but you can't eat them together. The reason is that crab meat is rich in protein, while persimmon contains a lot of tannic acid. These two substances will react with each other to form protein, which will solidify into a ball, making it difficult for our stomach to digest. Therefore, eating crabs and persimmons can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomfort.

2, strong tea: China people like tea, but when eating crabs, it is best to drink warm yellow wine, and it is best not to drink tea before and after eating crabs. There are two reasons:

(1) There are some bacteria in crab feet and cheeks. Drinking vinegar can kill them, and our gastric juice also has certain bactericidal ability, but after drinking tea, the gastric juice will be diluted, and the bactericidal effect will be greatly reduced.

(2) Tea leaves, like persimmons, also contain tannic acid, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort when eaten together;

3, pear: pear is a cool food, eating with cool crabs will damage the spleen and stomach, causing indigestion. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should pay special attention;

4, ice water, ice cream: In the same way, crabs are already very cold, eating cold food will lead to diarrhea and gastrointestinal disorders;

5. Mutton: Mutton is sweet, hot and cold. After eating together, it not only greatly reduces the warming effect of mutton, but also hinders the spleen and stomach. For patients with yang deficiency or spleen deficiency, it is easy to cause spleen and stomach dysfunction, which in turn affects the vitality of the human body;

6. Dog meat and loach: same as above;

7. Peanut: In the problem that crabs can't eat with anything, peanuts should also be rejected. Chinese medicine records: Peanut kernel is sweet and flat. Modern medicine finds that peanut contains a lot of fat, with its content as high as 45%. It can be said that peanuts belong to greasy food, and if eaten with cold food, it will lead to diarrhea. Therefore, crabs and peanuts should not be eaten at the same time, especially those with weak stomach.

8, cantaloupe: cantaloupe is a melon, sweet and cold, and can clear away heat and relieve constipation. Eating with crabs is harmful to the stomach and easy to cause diarrhea.

In addition, crabs should not be eaten with sweet potatoes, pumpkins, honey, oranges, pomegranates, tomatoes, snails, celery, rabbit meat, Schizonepeta and eggplant, which will lead to food poisoning.
