How to steam crab in microwave

Every autumn, crabs are the fattest. The crabs at this time are delicious and tender, and are loved by everyone. Although crabs are very beneficial, they are cold in nature and can easily cause allergies. Therefore, not everyone is suitable for eating crabs. When eating crabs, you cannot eat them with many other foods. There are also many tips when buying crabs.

Ingredients:

600g crab Pepper and salt as needed A glass of beer

practice:

Press the "Steam Cooking" button once to select the steam function. Turn the "Start" button and set it to 10 minutes.

How to choose crabs

1. First of all, try to choose female crabs.

Female crabs have more crab roe and crab meat (you can see from the picture that the crabs with round navels are female).

2. The hardness of the crab legs.

Try to touch the base of the crab's second-to-last leg (the last section) and pinch it hard. If it is generally hard, you can be sure that the crab is fresh and fat.

3. Then we still need to look at the legs, but we need to look at the knots on the legs,

Look at the color of the knots on the legs. If the knots are yellowish, it means the crab is good and you can buy it with confidence.

4. Also look at the crab's belly, which is the whitish shell. Generally, for better crabs, we can see the color inside through the shell. Such crabs are fresher and fatter.

Bounce the weight.

5. If the crab is large in size but light in weight, don’t buy it, as the quality of that crab is definitely poor.

We should choose crabs that are small in size and heavy in weight.

6. In addition, we need to look at the thickness of the crab.

Pick up two crabs and compare them from the tail. The thicker crabs are better, with more crab meat and crab roe. The thinner crabs are generally thinner.

7. Try to buy live crabs to avoid diarrhea. Some friends may worry that the crabs they bought have been injected with water, but live crabs will not have this problem, so you can rest assured.
