👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place a trivet in the multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and add water.

Place crab legs on top of the trivet; you may need to let them thaw for a few minutes so they will fit.

Close and lock the lid.

Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes.

Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.

Unlock and remove the lid.

Using tongs, transfer crab legs to a serving dish.

Squeeze lemon juice on top and serve with melted butter.
