Cooking Crabs.
Make sure they are in a very large pot with alot of water. Add at least big handfull of sea salt. Bring to boil then place crabs in boiling water. Wait until water is boiling again then wait exactly 8 minutes before removing crabs.
Clean straight away in the sink with cold running water (do not expose to cold water for any longer than necessary).
You will have perfectly cooked crabs every time!
(Well, blue swimmer crabs anyway)
Allow 10 minutes for a big mud or mangrove crab.
