Make the water deep enough to cover the crab. Bring the water to a roiling boil and place the frozen crab inside. Keep heat on high to maintain the boil--adjust lower if it looks like it is going to boil over. Foam may form--scoop it out with a ladle or lower the heat and leave the top off. Boil for about 12 minutes.
Crab legs will take from 5 to 7 minutes to steam or boil, 7 to 10 minutes to bake (if you include 1/8 inch of water in the baking pan) or 2 to 4 minutes to microwave. Dry methods of preparation, such as baking without water or grilling, may take up to 16 minutes.now crabs and King crabs have large meaty legs that are removed from the crab on the boat, cooked, and flash frozen to enable them to be transported and stored without degrading in quality. So, if you see crab legs in the fish market, they are probably already cooked.
