How to Make Crab Cake

Are You Freezing Crab Cakes, Too?
We freeze crab cakes, too. Freeze them well! Keep the bag tightly closed and submerge them in an ice chest or freezer bag. If you are using a large plastic bag, make sure you take care to squeeze it air-tight. And, for best results, remove them a few hours before serving. If you’re using frozen crab cakes, prepare them according to the package directions.
How To Make Frozen Crab Cakes
Frozen crab cakes can be made with canned crab meat, but if you prefer to use fresh crabmeat, you’ll need to add a little something extra. You’ll need to drain the can of crabmeat. Place a damp towel in the bottom of a bowl, then pour in the crabmeat. Let it sit for about ten minutes, and then drain. The towel is important so the crabmeat doesn’t drip down into the bowl. Now that your crabmeat is drained, you’ll need to add some seasoning. You can buy premade seasoning packets at the grocery store or mix your own. We prefer a mixture of paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix in a small bowl until the seasonings are evenly distributed. You can add any other spices you’d like, but keep in mind that some of these are strong and can overpower the crabmeat.
Freezing and Reheating Crab Cakes
Crab cakes are delicious on their own, but if you’re a crab cake lover, freezing may be the answer to your prayers. Freezing crab cakes not only extends their shelf life, but it also allows you to enjoy crab cakes all year round. You can freeze crab cakes by putting them in a container and placing in the freezer. Alternatively, you can freeze them by freezing in a baking dish and freezing, then transferring them to a baking dish before baking. Once they are frozen, you can cook crab cakes frozen as they are, or thaw them before baking. You can thaw frozen crab cakes in the refrigerator overnight, or you can microwave them for a few seconds.
