Steps:

• 1.

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• 2.

  Place crab legs on a rimmed baking sheet and water.

• 3.

  Cover baking sheet with foil and crimp the sides to create a tight seal.

• 4.

  Bake for about 10 minutes, or until heated through (145 degrees).

• 5.

  Transfer to a platter and serve with melted butter for dipping and fresh lemon wedges.

  To eat, break the crab legs at the joints. Often, a crab leg will open up at the joint, allowing for easy removal of the meat.

• 7.

  Turn the leg over to the smooth side and use kitchen shears to cut directly down the crab leg and simply open and remove the meat.

• 8.

  After removing the meat from the long shafts of the shell, use your fork to pry the meat out of the main joint at the opposite end from the claw.
