Place a few inches of water in a large pot. Place a steamer basket in the pot and bring the water to a simmer. You could also you a large pot with a colander insert.

Place the crab legs on a high-sided baking sheet in a single layer. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Tina Foley. My favorite recipe ever! Split the shells before you throw the crab legs in. Once done remove the legs and pour the butter sauce into a dish for dipping I only really wanted a sauce recipe, and this delivered. It was delicious! Recipe author here - just a note that you can use any crab for this recipe, not just snow crab. It's also great with shrimp, scallops and even muscles pre-steam muscles, and toss this sauce with them once cooked!

Fill a large pot about two thirds full of water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Turn the burner on high and cover until the water is boiling. Add the crab legs once the water is boiling. Use tongs to submerge the legs. Make the water is completely covering them.
Boil the legs, adjusting them with the tongs as needed. After four to five minutes, use the tongs to remove the legs from the water and serve! Steam Cooked Crabs Legs Steaming is an excellent way to reheat crab legs because it leaves them tasting fresh and juicy. Fill a large pot with about two inches of water. Place a steamer or colander over the water.
Make sure that there is space between the steamer or colander and the water.
