To use, simply open the package and drain any excess liquid. The crab meat is already cooked, so it requires minimal preparation. It can be gently heated in sauces or added directly to cold dishes like salads. When making crab cakes, mix the crab meat with binders and seasonings before forming and cooking. For pasta, stir it into a finished sauce just before serving to warm through. Avoid overcooking, as this can toughen the delicate crab meat.
