hello my name is Sharon I'm here today to show you how to bake and to broil crab cakes crab cakes have become one of America's favorite meals there's nothing quite like the succulent taste of the Maryland blue crab to get us started we will need to have a small shallow pan and of course our crab cakes we will place a pad of butter in our pan like this and on top of this butter we will place one crab cake next we are going to place this in our 350 degree preheated oven for seven to eight minutes and because our crab cakes are nice and thick this will help to cook them through the seven to eight minutes will help to cook them through now that our crab cakes are baked through we will take them out of the oven and we will place them under the broiler for three to four minutes and this will give them a nice golden brown top now that our crab cakes are finished broiling we will remove them from the oven oh they look nice and golden brown and we're going to dish them up here on this plate with some fresh greens and sliced lemons these crab cakes can be served just as is or they can be served with a little bit of tartar sauce thank you for watching and we hope you enjoy the crab cakes you
