Equipment

1 Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro
1 Roasting Rack

Ingredients

4 Cups Water
2 Pounds Snow Crab Legs Frozen or thawed
1 Tablespoon Garlic Minced
½ Lemon Sliced
1 Teaspoon Seafood Seasoning
¼ Cup Butter Melted-Salted

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Turn the Ninja Foodi Possible Pot Pro on STEAM for 15 minutes for thawed crab legs and 20 minutes for frozen crab legs. Actual cooking time will vary based on the size of the crab, the amount of crab, and the temperature of the crab.
Pour 4 cups of water into the main pot.
Place a roasting rack into the pot. The rack should stick out of the water. You do not want to submerge the crab legs in the water. Instead, you want to steam them above the water.
Add the minced garlic and lemon slices to the bottom of the pot, under the rack and put the lid on the pot.
When the pot has finished pre-heating, remove the lid and place the crab legs on the rack.
Sprinkle the crab legs with seafood seasoning.
Put the lid back on the pot and steam for 10-20 minutes. Frozen crab legs take a few extra minutes to steam. Thawed crab legs should be warm after about 10 minutes and frozen crab legs should be warm after about 15 minutes. The steaming time will vary based on the temperature of the crab legs when added to the pot, the size of the crab legs, and the quantity of crab legs used.
If you are steaming thawed crab legs, remove the lid after about 10 minutes and check to see if the crab legs are warm throughout. For frozen crab legs, check them after about 15 minutes. Do so by breaking off a small leg and cracking it. If they are not warm throughout, steam for a few more minutes.
Serve with melted butter and enjoy! Be sure to use a crab cracker and small fork to get the meat out of the crab legs.

Notes

Are crab legs already cooked or raw?

In the US crab legs are already cooked when you buy them at the grocery store. All you need to do is reheat them. Since they are already cooked, reheating them only takes a few minutes. You can steam, grill, bake, boil, or pressure cook them. Just be sure not to heat them for too long or they can become waterlogged, soggy, or dried out, based on the method of reheating.

How many clusters is a serving of snow crab legs?

A serving of crab legs is about 3 ounces or 1 cluster. But, that can vary based on whether you are serving the snow crab legs as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. We usually eat about 3 clusters, per person, as a meal.
