How people cook with it

To prepare these mini crab cakes, you can bake, pan-fry, or air-fry them. For baking, place them on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven until golden brown and heated through. Pan-frying involves cooking them in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until they are crispy on both sides. Air frying offers a quick and efficient method for achieving a similar crispy texture. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger crab cakes, these mini versions cook faster and are ideal for portion control. Their smaller size makes them more suitable for finger foods and appetizers, while larger cakes are often served as a main course. The seasoning blend is designed to be classic Maryland style.
