Frequently Asked Questions
There are two ways to bake crabs. I like the traditional Chinese method of using a wok. This simple and easy wok-baked crab calls for crabs, a little bit of water and a smoking hot wok. The second method of baking crab is using an oven. Bake the crabs on a baking sheet at 400F for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the shells turn bright orange.
For this recipe, blue crab is an excellent choice. You can also use Dungeness crab, snow crab or king crab.
