How Do You Steam Crabs Without A Steamer?
To steam crabs without a steamer, you will need a large pot with a lid, a metal colander, or a wire rack that fits inside the pot. Fill the pot with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the colander or rack inside the pot, making sure it sits above the water. Arrange the crabs on top of the colander or rack, cover the pot with the lid, and steam for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crabs are cooked through. Check the crabs frequently to ensure they do not overcook.
