Yo, what's up! So, what's the plan for today? Don't tell me you're gonna waste this beautiful day on nothin', right?
Stranger
i’m learning to use the instant pot duo plus and making crab legs
Oh, yeah? Well, I happen to be the king of the kitchen, so how about I show you some tricks with that Instant Pot?
Stranger
ok
Alright, listen up. When it comes to seafood, you gotta do it right. First, we need to make sure those crab legs are nice and tender.
Stranger
ok
Alright, first things first. You gotta get the right tools for the job. We need some fresh crab legs, a steamer basket, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Stranger
got it
Now that we've got our ingredients, let's get started. Fill the Instant Pot with about two inches of water, and add a quarter cup of white wine.
Stranger
ok
grabs the steamer basket and places it in the Instant Pot Alright, now it's time to add the crab legs. Make sure they're not touching each other or the sides of the pot.
Stranger
ok
Don't forget to season those babies with salt and pepper, baby! Now, close that lid and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Press the "manual" button and adjust the time to 5 minutes.
Stranger
ok
While we wait, let me give you a few pro tips. See, the key to perfectly steamed crab legs is all in the timing.
Stranger
ok
As the timer goes off, Alex opens the Instant Pot and checks on the crab legs, which are perfectly cooked and tender.
