Quick answer
Use Crabby as a playful yet practical kitchen helper for crab dishes by employing its claw-shaped strainer to drain crab shells, rinse seafood, and hold small ingredients during prep.
Why Crabby works for seafood prep beyond pasta
Crabby is designed as a pasta strainer, but its crab-like shape and sturdy silicone body make it surprisingly handy for crab and seafood tasks. The claw acts as a built-in grip, letting you hold the strainer steady while you pour or rinse. Just keep in mind that Crabby is not a dedicated cracker or shell opener—it's best for draining, rinsing, and holding, not for breaking hard shells.
Step-by-step guide: Using Crabby for crab dishes
- Rinse crab shells or seafood: Place cleaned crab shells or shrimp under cold running water inside Crabby's bowl. The claw handle gives you a secure grip while you swirl the contents to remove grit. Don't overload the strainer—work in batches to ensure every piece gets rinsed.
- Drain boiled crab legs or claws: After boiling crab legs, pour the contents into Crabby held over the sink. The strainer holes let water drain quickly while keeping the meat inside. Let the crab cool for a minute before handling to avoid burns from trapped steam.
- Hold small ingredients while seasoning: Use Crabby as a temporary bowl to hold crab meat, herbs, or spices while you season. The claw handle keeps it stable on the counter. Crabby is not heat-safe above 400°F—avoid placing it directly on a hot stovetop or in boiling water.
