Instant Pot® Simple Steamed Crab Legs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
2 pounds frozen king crab legs
juice of one lemon
1/3 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Place a trivet in the multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and add water. Place crab legs on top of the trivet; you may need to let them thaw for a few minutes so they will fit.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Using tongs, transfer crab legs to a serving dish. Squeeze lemon juice on top and serve with melted butter.
