This center stile is used to support the weight of the frame to make it stronger and more durable, especially when the cabinets are built using particle board or MDF. Center stiles were more common in older homes, but they are still used in kitchens that have cottage, rustic or other traditional designs.
Cover the pot and bring to boil. Place your crab legs in basket (You can bend or break the legs to fit into the steamer) and steam for 5 to 7 minutes. The oven is my preferred method for cooking king crab legs. Just place the thawed king crabs single layer in a large baking pan, add about 1/8 inch water to the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Bring the water back to a boil and cook until the crabs start to float. Depending on the size of the crabs, this will happen in 10 to 15 minutes or so. Use tongs to remove the crabs and set them out until cool enough to handle.ut the crabs in a steamer basket or insert, or simply pile them into the pot and let the bottom crab or two boil slightly and act as a platform for the other crabs to steam. Cook 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the crabs.
