QUESTION I need a strainer to steam 2 crabs at a time in at home. Is this one also suitable for 2-4 corn on the cobs? Crabs are roughly 2 pounds each.
Thank you,
Gail
ANSWER Hi. This fry basket is 8.5" in diameter, so it would depend on how large your crabs are. For example, blue crabs range from 4 to 7 inches. It's possible that it would work with this basket. Thanks!
