|||you don't have to split them to cook them. steam them for 6 min and


split them hot. i use kitchen sissors and cut them down the under side, the lite or pale side. instead of butter i use lots of lemon.|||10-12 minutes from the time the water boils.|||u steam it until it turns orange


make sure its not pre cooked|||Being a former chef and having cooked with it a number of time in my 20yr chef career, it is pre-cooked when it is fished, and needs only to be warmed up, a steamer basket over a pot, or wok, and 10-15 minutes, the microwave is fine, but it can exlpode if not cut to allow the steam out, Alaskan King Crab is not often sold raw as it breaksdown quickly that is why they pre-cook it, Dungensess and Blue Crabs ares o plenty full and keep longer that is why the are slod live in tanks or baskets in Chinatown.
