The Anova Precision Oven’s sous vide mode is the perfect way to cook crab. There is no need to bag the crab as with typical sous vide cooking and the crab gets heated through in a relatively short amount of time. Serve with garlic butter sauce for dipping. So good! Note: If you have unthawed frozen crab, you can follow the recipe as written, adding 5 to 10 minutes to the cooking time.
