Preparation

How do you reheat steamed blue crabs?

Method 1: Reheating on the Stovetop (Steaming)

Prepare the Steamer: Fill a large pot with about an inch or two of water. Add a steaming rack or basket on top, making sure it sits above the water level.

Heat the Water: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add the Crabs: Place the steamed blue crabs in the steamer basket. You can layer them, but don't overcrowd them.

Steam the Crabs: Cover the pot and let the crabs steam for 5–10 minutes until heated through. Be careful not to over-steam, as this can dry out the meat.

Check for Heat: Carefully remove one crab and check that it's heated evenly before serving.

Serve: Remove the crabs from the steamer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Method 2: Reheating in the Oven

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Crabs: Place the crabs in a baking dish and cover them with aluminum foil to retain moisture.

Add Moisture: To keep the crabs from drying out, add a splash of water or a bit of melted butter to the baking dish.

Reheat: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Check that the crabs are warmed evenly before serving.

Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy.

Method 3: Reheating in the Microwave (Quick Option)

Prepare the Crabs: Place the crabs on a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.

Heat: Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes. Check the temperature after one minute and continue heating in 30-second intervals until hot.

Serve: Once heated through, serve immediately. Be cautious, as microwaving may slightly dry out the crabs.

For all methods, avoid overheating, as it can make the crab meat tough and dry. These techniques will keep the crabs moist and flavorful!

About this product

When picking steamed blue crabs, you may notice two pristine chucks that pull from the back-paddle legs. Void of shells and plump in texture, jumbo blue crab meat serves as a true delicacy for the enthusiast. Either for an exquisite recipe or a hot butter dip during a family feast, the sweet robust chunks boast a buttery flavor distinct from genuine USA Blue Crabs. These crab chunks deserve a prized position at the table. Maryland Style Crab Imperial with a side of toasted crostini, Restaurant Style Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cakes served on a Kaiser roll and Jumbo Lump Crab Au Gratin adorned next to a chopped house salad all pay respect to a meal worth showing off.

Blue crabs do offer lump crab meat from the two crab cavities. Seafood picking tools and your trusty fingers can pull out most of the meat with ease, but not as easy as a chunk that dislodges at the back of the crab. Pristine and similar tasting to jumbo, but with a flakier texture, lump packs into a crab cake majestically. Finally, claw cracks from the two front pincers and has a fibrous, somewhat nutty hint. Crab soup and sauces take on the robust claw flavor for a sophisticated pallet. A trick in the kitchen will ensure all three showcase a recipe with maximum enjoyment. Consider soaking the meat in milk for approximately 20 minutes. Then gently rinse. The meat will lose any fishy taste and boast a salty-sweetness. Give it a smell and it should give off a sweet odor with a hint of the ocean.

Eat with assurance, jumbo crab meat boasts 15 grams of protein per 3 oz. serving and high levels of calcium, good for bone health and potassium for a strong nervous system.  Besides these impressive benefits, when you jumbo-size your crab meat, you let your diner know this meal aims to impress!
