Chef's Notes

Crab is delicate — handle it gently and add it at the last moment so the texture stays intact, not shredded. If you'd like to go deeper, Stock Making Fundamentals covers this in full.

If you'd ever like hands-on guidance for your own kitchen or restaurant, I also offer 1-on-1 coaching through OCS, or you can reach me directly for consulting at 911ChefEric.com.
