FAQs
How long should you steam 2 lbs. of snow crab legs?
To steam 2 lbs. of snow crab legs, place them in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover, and steam for about 7-10 minutes if thawed or 12-15 minutes if frozen. The meat should be hot and tender when done.
What’s the best way to serve steamed snow crab legs?

How do you know when steamed snow crab legs are ready to eat?
Pre-cooked crab legs (most store-bought ones) are ready when they’re heated through and steaming hot. The shell will be bright red, and the meat will be opaque and flaky.

Use kitchen shears or a crab cracker to cut through the shell. Start at the joints and gently pull out the meat in one piece for easy eating.
Can you reheat leftover steamed snow crab legs?
Yes! Reheat them by steaming for 3-5 minutes or wrapping them in foil and warming in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving as it can make the meat rubbery.

You’ll need a large pot with a lid and a steamer basket or colander to keep the crab legs above the water while they cook. Adding tongs makes it easier to handle hot crab legs safely.
