So, how long do you cook a live crab? Well, it depends on the size and type of crab. For a standard Dungeness crab, you're looking at around 8-10 minutes per pound - but don't quote us, we're no crab whisperers!
Now, here's a quirky fact: did you know that crabs can regrow their claws? It's true! They're like the Wolverines of the sea. Anyway, back to cooking - make sure you've got a big enough pot, or you'll end up with a crab-astrophe on your hands.
When it comes to cooking methods, you've got a few options: steaming, boiling, or even grilling (for the more adventurous types). Just remember, the key is to cook quickly and cook carefully, or you'll end up with a crab that's tougher than old boots.
