How do you cook them?

You steam them till just done then serve them with clarified butter.

wow hard question it differs in perperation and what it will be served with most people stem them but you can do lots more like poaching it or boiling it with garlic or on occasion bake it in a pot pie if you just making it to eat with some veggies or someting siple I would have to recomend poaching it in what is called a court bouillon (court bowel-an) any way its a simple liquid that is made up of a fish stock parsley lemons and salt you can add any othere simple herbs to it if you use them in the rest of the dish but you bring the water up to about 160-180 and cook the crab untill done most will take the leggs and shoulder off the rest of the shell and cook it that way or if you buy it at a store its already done for you hope this helps

Oops! I forgot to mention that almost all Alaskan King Crab legs are already cooked when you get them.

Hi! I steam them in a couple inches of water for about 5-10 minutes-then enjoy in butter! Yummy!!!
