Can you bake alaskan king crab legs?

You can in a pot of water in the oven.





Really - the oven will dry it out.|||You can bake them in the oven or you can do them on the stove top. Here is a recipe I use.





INGREDIENTS


1 pound Snow Crab clusters, thawed if necessary


1/4 cup butter


1 clove garlic, minced


1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley


1/8 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper





DIRECTIONS


Cut a slit, length-wise, into the shell of each piece of crab.


Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the garlic in the butter until translucent; stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper. Continue to heat mixture until bubbling. Add the crab legs; toss to coat; allow to simmer in the butter mixture until completely heated, 5 to 6 minutes.|||Crab legs are already cooked if they're red. All you're really doing is warming them up again. I think baking might take too long and dry them out.
