Bring pot of water with a teaspoonful of oil to a boil and then put the cleaned crab in. When it comes to a boil again, then set the timer for ten minutes. Then, remove crab, cool them quickly under cold water and then put them in a big baggie with a smaller baggie of ice. Chill thoroughly.
Do not cover pot while it is boiling rapidly or it will overflow and make a mess!
