First thaw the snow crab in refrigerator overnight and boil it in a pot with small amount of water to cover the bottom of the pot and put a lid on the top and boil and steam for about 5 to 6 minutes. That should be enough and heating more time would lose the crab flavour.
If stored in an airtight container, this can last up to 5 days.

The blue crab, not the king or snow crab of Alaska fame.
It always tastes better if you thaw your king crab legs before you steam them but if you are running short on time, here's an easy method: 1. Boil the water in your steaming pot. 2. Rinse your crab legs under warm water to get rid of all the surface ice. 3. Place your crab legs in the steamer. Make sure you don't over crowd the legs. 4. 13 minutes and they're done. You can leave the left over crab legs in the simmering steamer for 20 minutes total to keep them warm while you crack the legs on your plate. If you need any more help you can use this guide for cooking king crab legs. If you have time to thaw your crab legs before steaming them, simply take them out of the freezer the night before, place them on a baking tray, and put them in your fridge. Steam thawed crab legs for 7 minutes.
Snow crab legs are not high in cholesterol. When you dip them in butter, they become very high in fat and cholesterol.
