I. Crab cleaning methods:
1. Soak in salt water:
When the water spat out by the crab is no longer cloudy, you can start brushing, which requires guts and certain skills, and you should pay attention to preventing your fingers from being pinched by the crab's pincers. You can pinch the left and right sides of the crab hard with your thumb and middle finger and hold the shell towards the top. This method of grasping has been proven to be the safest and will never get pinched.
2, white wine drunken crab method:
Pour the crab in the basin after the appropriate amount of water, and then pour a small amount of white wine mixed evenly, so that the crab drink water containing white wine will be drunk and become comatose, with you how to manipulate all have no strength to pinch people. If you are still not too assured, you can also take out the drunken crab, with the back of the spatula to slap it stunned, which is foolproof, you want to brush how you can brush.

The most important thing to note in this method is to control the water temperature, the water temperature is too low to achieve the effect of scalded crab, while the water temperature is too high will make the crab's feet off.
Second, the crab brushing method:
1, first of all, the crab's body sides, back, abdomen and mouth brushing clean, and then feet and pincers of the root brushing clean.
2, the next step is to clean the abdominal cover part, this step is very critical, because the abdominal cover has a lot of dirt and crab feces. Before cleaning the belly cover, you must hold the crab's pincers firmly to prevent them from being pinched. Then you can open the belly cover, squeeze out the feces first, then scrub out the dirt inside the belly cover, and finally scrub the crab pincers clean.
Expanded:
Eating crabs should pay attention to the following points:
1, dead crabs should not be eaten freshwater crabs inside and outside of a large number of bacteria. Live crabs can be metabolized through the body of bacteria out of the body; once the crab is dead, the bacteria in his body will multiply, decomposition of crab meat, some bacteria also produce toxins, people eat will cause food poisoning. In addition, the crab body contains more histidine, the longer the crab dies, the more the body accumulates histidine.
2, crabs absolutely can not be eaten raw, must be cooked, cooked as long as possible crab body surface, gills and gastrointestinal tract covered with all kinds of bacteria and sludge. Crabs often with schistosoma larvae cysts and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, such as high-temperature disinfection, schistosoma into the human body can cause lung damage.
