Boiling is the most common way to cook crabs and a favorite for all varieties. 1  Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Make sure to salt it enough so it tastes as salty as ocean water. 2  Add the crabs as quickly after one another as possible, so they cook for the same amount of time.
Add a steamer rack to the pot. (If you donât have a steamer rack, lightly bunch a long piece of foil so that it looks like a rope. 2Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the lobster head-first to the pot, cover with a tightfitting lid, and return the water to a full boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a gentle boil until the lobster is bright red, about 14 minutes from the time it goes into the pot.
