How to Store and Reheat
Storage: Store leftover crab cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat crab cakes in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain their crispiness. You can also pan-fry them again briefly if you prefer.
Freezing: To freeze uncooked crab cakes, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag, and they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before cooking.
