Two-piece crab steamer pots also exist. The inner pot is the same as a steamer basket.
You may steam the claws without a lid. It can take up to ten minutes for the claws to cook through, but you’ll be able to keep an eye on them.
Claw meat has a stronger flavor than meat from other parts of the crab, so don’t feel obligated to add extra seasoning.
To ensure they cook evenly, you may flip the claws over after the first minute or two of cooking. Use a long pair of tongs.
