What's better for crab legs – boiling or baking?

[Chiyah_]

Hey everyone! I’m torn between boiling and baking my crab legs. Which method do you think brings out the best flavor and texture? I'd love to hear your experiences and tips!

Boiling and baking crab legs both have their perks! I usually boil mine...super easy and they stay moist. Baking, though, brings out a sweeter flavor...totally yum. Have you tried both ways?

It really depends on your preference! Boiling tends to keep them moist, while baking can add a delicious roasted flavor. Why not try both and see which method you prefer? Enjoy your crab legs!

I'm team boil for crab legs myself! It's super fast and easy, and you can add all sorts of yummy seasonings to the water for extra flavor. But baking can be good too, especially if you want a drier texture

Both boiling and baking can yield delicious crab legs! Boiling is faster and can help retain moisture, while baking can intensify flavors through caramelization. It ultimately depends on your preference and the recipe you're using.
