Boiling is the most common way to cook crabs and a favorite for all varieties. 1  Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Make sure to salt it enough so it tastes as salty as ocean water. 2  Add the crabs as quickly after one another as possible, so they cook for the same amount of time.
If it is the king crab you will boil them 7-10 minutes. If they are smaller legs or a small â¦ er crab you will boil them 5-7 minutes. Some people suggest adding sea salt, lemon or garlic to the water. Drop in the legs (open part first) and boil for appropriate time.
