Open King Crab Legs

Opening King crab legs is easy. You can do it in just a a few simple steps. Check them out below.

Steps

Pick up the crab leg with both hands. King crab legs are the biggest, so you really may need both.
Apply pressure to the crab’s major joint with your hands, crab tools, or miscellaneous table items. Crab legs have four sections with three joints to break. (More to enjoy.)
After you break off the first section, run your crab zipper down the soft side of the shell in one sweeping motion (if you don’t have a zipper, try a fork).
Pull out the meat and enjoy. But you’re not done yet…
Repeat step 2 for the rest of the crab legs. Use a crab zipper or crab cracker (nutcracker) for the smaller sections if needed.
