  • this is a tutorial on how to steam Maryland blue crabs. I have been steaming my own crabs for over 20 years and I think my recipe is absolutely delicious. For all the dog lovers and dog owners I created a website and facebook community for all things dog. If you have time come over and check it out at / hugyourdogtoday the facebook page and www.thedailydogpost.com/ the website, I hope to see you guys there but until then God Bless and thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.

    Tyrone, I'm a chef in Memphis, TN. and I am not going to try and give you any suggestions like some other folks because I think you've got this recipe on lockdown. Straight vinegar and Old Bay for steam sounds amazing. Here is my only problem, you reaching your bare hands down in that bag. Are you crazy man? I'm ready to cook some crabs but I'm not sinking my hands into a grocery bag full of those SOB's. You're a beast. I'm inspired.

    picking up the crabs using bare hand? damn you are a monster XD

    Also like to add...for all of you calling this cruelty...did you ever consider killing any insect cruel when it was just doing its natural thing? Yea. I'll wait.

      Joel Malcom you've been waiting for two months man?

    • @joeltmalcom
      @joeltmalcom Před 7 lety +9

      You waited 3 months to reply?

    • @LambertBowden56
      @LambertBowden56 Před 7 lety +3

      Your dumb wait is over. Crushing an insect is quick... boiling something alive is not. Just like when we hunt dear, we make sure its dead before we start hacking and cooking.

    • @Will-216
      @Will-216 Před 6 lety +5

      jert opp what???? So the dear doesn’t run away and die a slow death? He did it the right way. when you bring them to a boil the will less likely feel it as opposed to dumping them straight into a boiling pot. But who really gives a fuck right....

    A few years ago I searched for info about wiring up some new outlets, Tyrone had some excellent tutorials. About to steam some crab legs today and stumbled across Tyrone's familiar voice as he guides me through another journey. Subscribed.

  • @rareform6747
    @rareform6747 Před 7 lety +2

    Yes nice to have a good video to watch , live in Texas and was originally from Maryland . Texas has blue crab but don't have a clue how to steam or season . Nice layering !

    @thewifeybea Před 10 lety +12

    You sure this was your first video?! You're a natural!! Now I'm going to go look if you have other cooking videos!

  • @jimscharfe2678
    @jimscharfe2678 Před 8 lety +20

    This is one of the best videos on how to steam blue crabs. I would add some water to the vinegar though. Some people add beer. It's a personal preference. Your seasoning sound delicious.

    • @privateprivate5302
      @privateprivate5302 Před 6 lety +1

      hi, why vinegar and not just plain water? does the vinegar steam give them a tangy flavor? or hide a "fishy" smell? if you use beer and vinegar, do they taste like beer? -just curious, i'm in Midwest and know very little but extremely curious

  • @Jawshism
    @Jawshism Před 10 lety

    I am doing this right now. You are literally the best video after 25 minutes of browsing for how to cook STEAMED crab

    Funny how they stop fighting once you throw the seasoning on them

    • @ctbt1832

      That’s because they are licking it out. It taste good

  • @Tyrone3340

    The way that I steam them comes out perfect everytime. It's not broke so I am not going to try and fix it.

    @terriclifford7895 Před 9 lety

    Thanks Tyrone...picking up a dozen of #1's this afternoon and it has been ages since we steamed our own crabs...usually get them from Cravin' Crabs in Baltimore Highlands. Going to use your recipe with a few tweaks....thanks again!

  • @crabber59
    @crabber59 Před 10 lety +2

    great vid! I just steamed some West-Coast Crabs(Dungeness-Red-Rock) I caught yesterday for the first time instead of boiling them and they cooked out well. The crab-meat came apart from the shell easier and the texture was more softer&tastier.
    I may never boil crab again!

  • @noclombos6954
    @noclombos6954 Před 7 lety +3

    the color of your seasoning looks already flavorful.. I can already imagine how the crabs taste like :)

  • @joesmithmtp
    @joesmithmtp Před 6 lety

    The first time I steamed crabs I put them in the pot to steam, then turned on the heat as you demonstrated. I sat down with my wife to have a beer and a crab scampers across the room. There were crabs in the living room, down the hall, under my bed, etc. What fun seeing my wife standing on the table... I learned to have the steam going before placeing the cooking section with the babes on top. Great first tape. It would be better if you edited a bit. Wish I could have been with you - love crabs. God bless.

    @danbantner3802 Před 9 lety

    Tyrone. Lived in MD my entire life, ate more crabs than I care to think about. Moved to Texas, they have good sized Blue Crab, didn't know how to cook them. Now I do. A taste of home, more than 1100 miles away. Thanks a bunch man!

  • @bittersweet4life115
    @bittersweet4life115 Před 10 lety +1

    Great Video. My family is from Maryland. My family would use beer. Instead of vinegar. My grandmother would season the crabs with crushed red pepper, salt & pepper.

  • @EvesGourmet
    @EvesGourmet Před 2 lety

    I am so amazed by how much seasoning you put in, in every layer. I bet you they are so good! I subscribed here! Thanks for sharing.

  • @musahera12
    @musahera12 Před 8 lety +3

    you seem like the most gentle person in the world from the way you talk, and those crabs looks amazing but too bad those kind of seasonings aren't available in my country

    No actually 95% of the time I use beer but I don't want to offend or encourage minors that may watch the video to try and go out and get beer.

    • @rosalindbeard8553
      @rosalindbeard8553 Před 4 lety

      Why do they stop moving once you put the seasoning on

    • @ronlawray1563
      @ronlawray1563 Před 4 lety

      Not wanting to encourage MINORS to use beer is admirable....l get what you're saying...BUT how many minors have you EVER heard of in your lifetime, EVER steamed or plan to steam crabs?

    Awesome video brother ! I was looking for a video to show me how to steam crabs and your video was the first one that popped up. You're very detailed, patient, and you have a tremendous calm in how you cook! You need your own cooking show, but CZcams will do for now! Lol. Kudos bro!

    I just transferred to Maryland and was fortunate enough to rent a home with a dock (crab traps too). Used your video today to help me cook, and worked out great. Although I must say eating them was a lot of work. You should make a video on eating/cleaning them. Thanks again for the video.

  • @Kmahabir

    I have in MD my entire life and I have now seen many ways to cook blue crabs. I use cheap beer (Natty Boh, Shaefer, but Schlitz is best). I mainly cook mine with 2-3 cups of water and one beer, Old Bay on each layer, and a cup of vinegar.
