I usually immediately boil after removing for between 5 to 10 min. I have eaten about 20 claws that I have boiled this year and they all tasted great. After they are done boiling I immediately drop in a salt water bath to rapidly cool down. I either serve them cold or freeze for later. Store bought stone crab claws are typically boiled ahead of time with many commercial crab boats boil the claws on the boat or just on the dock to keep them from spoiling.

BOILING THE CRAB LEGS - How long to boil crab legs depends on the size of the legs. If it is the king crab you will boil them 7-10 minutes. If they are smaller legs or a smaller crab you will boil them 5-7 minutes. Some people suggest adding sea salt, lemon or garlic to the water. Drop in the legs (open part first) and boil for appropriate time.

It depends if it's fresh or frozen. I believe you want to boil/steam it for 10-14 min.

being that they are cooked when processed, you can reheat crab legs by steaming them for 8 to ten minutes depending on size and the amount you are cooking.

How do you cook frozen crab legs?

It always tastes better if you thaw your king crab legs before you steam them but if you are running short on time, here's an easy method: 1. Boil the water in your steaming pot. 2. Rinse your crab legs under warm water to get rid of all the surface ice. 3. Place your crab legs in the steamer. Make sure you don't over crowd the legs. 4. 13 minutes and they're done. You can leave the left over crab legs in the simmering steamer for 20 minutes total to keep them warm while you crack the legs on your plate. If you need any more help you can use this guide for cooking king crab legs. If you have time to thaw your crab legs before steaming them, simply take them out of the freezer the night before, place them on a baking tray, and put them in your fridge. Steam thawed crab legs for 7 minutes.

Can king crab legs be shipped fresh?

There is at least one supplier that advertises shipping King Crab legs as fresh cooked - never frozen. They overnight the package and are available that way for a limited time. I imagine the package has chill packs or dry ice to keep it cold. You could get raw King Crab legs only if you live in a crabbing community.
