1, soaked in light salt water
After buying hairy crabs, wash the dirty things on the body surface first, and then soak them in light salt water for a period of time. The concentration of salt water should be slightly salty. The purpose of soaking hairy crabs in light salt water is to make them spit out the dirty things in their stomachs, so change the water several times when soaking until the water spit out by hairy crabs becomes clear.
2, liquor drunk crab method
Put the hairy crabs into the basin, then pour in a proper amount of water, and then pour in a small amount of white wine and mix well, so that the hairy crabs will be drunk and unconscious after drinking the water containing white wine, and have no strength to pinch people at your mercy. If you are still not at ease, you can take out the drunken hairy crabs and stun them with the back of a spatula. Brush as you like.
3. Warm water and hot crab method

Precautions for crab cleaning
The most important thing in this method is to control the water temperature. The water temperature is too low to reach the effect of scalding hairy crabs, while the feet of hairy crabs will fall off if the water temperature is too high. You can try the temperature by hand during the specific operation. If you put your hand in the room and feel a little hot but not too hot, the temperature is just around 45 degrees.
In addition, the hairy crabs cleaned by warm water method and alcohol method must be steamed in time, otherwise the dizzy hairy crabs will become dead hairy crabs after a long time and produce substances that are not conducive to human health. In the process of cleaning hairy crabs, it is recommended to wear gloves to avoid being caught by the pliers of hairy crabs.
