Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Steamed King Crab Legs.
Step 1
To start your delicious crab feast, gather your ingredients: water, frozen king crab legs, a zesty lemon, and some melted butter for dipping.
Step 2
Next, place a trivet inside your Instant Pot and pour in the water, creating a steamy environment for the crab legs.
Step 3
Carefully arrange the crab legs on top of the trivet.
Step 4
If they’re a bit too long, don’t worry—just let them thaw for a few minutes so they fit comfortably.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to seal the deal! Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, set it to high pressure, and let it work its magic for 3 minutes.
Step 6
As the pressure builds up, which takes about 10 minutes, you can take a moment to imagine the delightful feast ahead.
Step 7
Once the cooking time is up, it’s time for a little excitement! Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 8
When the steam has settled, unlock and remove the lid to reveal your perfectly cooked crab legs.
Step 9
Using tongs, gently transfer the succulent crab legs to a serving dish, and don’t forget to squeeze fresh lemon juice over them for that burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve with a side of melted butter for dipping, and get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering meal that’s sure to impress!.
