Summer is winding down and almost everybody will be eating crabs Labor Day weekend. Crabs are meant to be steamed, not boiled.Most people season the crabs before cooking. I personally don’t since none of the seasoning actually gets in the crab. It gets on your hands and that is what you taste.The best thing I have found to steam them in is a clam steamer. You can pick one up at RW’s or at Allisons.I usually put about 2 inches of water in the bottom. When the water really starts to boil then I cut the heat back just a little (still need to make steam) and put the top part of the steamer with the crabs already in it over the bottom half. Then put the top on and let them cook for about a half an hour.When they are done I put Old Bay on the table and the people around my table season the crabs as they pick them. I like mine dipped in butter but most people like vinegar.What I really think is good is some garlic sea salt and black pepper ground in the butter.
