Cooking Frozen Crab Meat

1. Boil the crab. Fill a pot with the crab(s), water, and either one tablespoon vinegar or one tablespoon salt. Bring to a heavy boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 20 to 25 minutes. Serve.

2. Steam the crab. Put about two cups of water and one tablespoon salt or vinegar into a pot with a rack in the bottom. Bring to a steady boil. Place the crabs on the rack. A pre-cooked crab will take between five and 10 minutes to steam. You could also use a steamer.

3. Bake the crab. Break open the crab and baste it with butter and seasoning. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

4. Microwave the crab. Wrap the crab in moist paper towels. Microwave on high for about three minutes.
