    How long can I keep steamed crabs?
    Community Answer
    If you freeze them, they can last a long time. If they are refrigerated, they will only last a few days.

    Community Answer
    It should not be much more than 45 minutes because it is cooked already. Be sure to add salt.

    You can, but if you do, you might crack the shell. I would recommend boiling or steaming instead.
