To Boil Crabs

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. Add crabs head first and boil for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove the outer shell and spongy substance, ensuring the underside is free from sand.

  4. Serve crabs in their shells.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
