    Thanks for this tutorial! I didn't know they could be baked. I also did not know crab legs were already cooked.
    King crab is anywhere from $39.99 to $65.99 a pound in Los Angeles right now!!

      @lazyblazer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep! Almost all crab legs sold in stores are pre cooked. If they are bright red/orange, they're cooked! I live in NC and snow and dungeness crab legs are in the $17-$25 per pound and the King is usually 50ish per pound but today they were $64.99!!! Still bought some lol

      @@sandijohnson4630 Yeah, they were collosal king crab as well! 1lb per leg. They were great but not quite worth it for $65/lb in my opinion. But King crab is always more expensive on the east coast, and snow crab is more expensive on the west coast, generally speaking. Snow crab and Red Atlantic crab has the best flavor I think.

      Hi There - The king crab legs used in this recipe were fresh, so they will steam within 5-7 minutes. If using frozen, we recommend allowing them to thaw one day prior to cooking. They can then steam for the same amount of time as fresh crab legs. Thank you for your questions.
