Preparing the Crab Legs

For the best results, choose firm, shiny crab legs with no unpleasant odors. Here’s how to prep them:

1. Thaw frozen crab legs overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Cut each leg lengthwise to expose the meat (use kitchen shears or a sharp knife).
4. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
