Don’t just boil plain water—add Old Bay, lemon wedges, garlic, and a splash of beer. It’s not mandatory, but it’s mandatorily fun. The seasoning takes zero extra time but makes you feel like a culinary genius. Your kitchen will smell like a seaside carnival.
And honestly? Boiling crab is a social event. Invite a friend to watch the timer with you, crack open a cold one, and laugh when the crab legs look like tiny armor. It’s not just dinner—it’s a memory.
