Did someone say seafood season? Who loves snow crab legs?? We love seafood in my house and making it in the Instant Pot is so easy! Order some frozen or thawed snow crab legs from your favorite place and make them in your Instant Pot!
This is based on a recipe from Allrecipes.
Ingredients:
You’ll need snow crab legs — I found wild-caught, as well as water, lemon juice, and butter. Make sure you have a trivet or steaming basket for your instant pot.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can use a steamer basket in a pot on your stove. When you add your snow crabs, look over what it’s your package — there were two pieces of the crab that weren’t usable.
Of course, you can get amazing Alaskan Snow Crab Legs from our affiliate partner Cameron’s Seafood – so that will be how I’ll order this next time. Order Snow Crab Legs (or pick them up from your local fish market or supermarket), make sure your instant pot is clean then then print out the directions below!

Need an Instant Pot? I love this one. Get one at either Kohl’s, Macy’s or Amazon.
I recommend getting extra sealing rings – find at Kohl’s or Amazon – I have two and rotate them.
I also have a glass lid — perfect for yogurt making or putting your inner pot in the fridge. Get at Kohl’s or Amazon.
