All great ideas, but you forgot "Bake." I baked Snow Crab Legs in the oven for my son's birthday, and I've never tasted Crab Legs so good in my life!

I like baking with old bay and making a butter sauce on the side

Steaming is by far the best no flavor loss boiling u boiling out the juices from natural flavors from the crab yes u are put stuff in ur water but Steam keeps it all and when u season it it has all that still in it plus so that is why I say Steaming is great but u all do what makes ur household happy in ur own methods I will be enjoying eating crab feast me and my lady friend 2nite ❤

I am eating some snow crab legs while watching this. lol The only time I boil them if if I know the store I buy them from are saltier than normal. Other than that, I prefer steaming them after rinsing off the salty ice. Some buffets are known to throw a ton of salt along with their snow crabs. It's the only way to prevent customers from eating them out of business.

Boiling in Beer for him, thank yiu kindly!!

[MikeHitt]

Did you just cook crab legs with a pinch of salt 😂😂

[BigBenny]

SMOKE EM, rub butter on the shells with cajun every 5 mins.

[janamagee]

Steaming them is the best way to cook them
