The Ultimate Guide to Thawing Frozen Crab Legs

Thawing frozen crab legs before cooking is recommended for even and quick cooking. Thawing can be done in the refrigerator overnight or by immersing them in cool water. It is important to minimize the time from freezer to cooking to maintain the quality of the crab legs. If in a hurry, cooking them frozen is possible but may result in unevenly cooked meat. Quick-thawing under cool running water or immersing them in cool water for about half an hour are better options.
