Steaming crab belly is facing up.
Because when the crab is steamed, the belly is placed upwards and the back of the crab is placed downwards, so that the crab's paste will not be lost and the freshness will be locked in. When the crab is heated, the internal pressure increases, causing the paste to spill out from the cracks in the shell. The crab's abdomen has many crevices, so if the shell is lowered, there are more channels for the paste to escape. Moreover, live crabs must be placed with their backsides upward, and if they are placed the other way around, they will soon lose their vigor and die.
