Add the raw crab legs to the rapidly boiling water or steamer. If using a steamer, cover. Allow the crab legs to boil for about six or eight minutes for smaller legs like snow crab and as long as 12 to 14 minutes for very large legs like some king crab varieties. If using a steamer, steam for 12 to 14 minutes for small legs and 20 to 24 minutes for large legs.
Cook the crab legs for 10 to 15 minutes to allow time for them to thaw and cook. While the legs are cooking, it is important not to remove the foil as the steam is what cooks the crab legs. Thawed crab legs only need to be cooked for five minutes. Things You'll Need. 3 lemons; 1 head of garlic; Casserole dish; 1 bottle premium beer; 3 lbs. crab legs
