- 4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, take out as many as you are in the mood for and heat for 10-15 minutes until hot & bubbly and as brown as you like.
- 5. Tips: you see here it says to make your own season salt, there are many variations of season salt personally I skipped this step altogether as most call for garlic powder so it just depends on what mood I am in if I want some onion powder or salt I just toss in a bit so on and so forth most of the time all I add is the garlic powder feel free as always to tailor it to your liking I will post some salt recipes I have found. This season blend can also but used on chicken, fish, pork ect.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh crab meat. You can buy crab meat already cooked and picked, or you can cook and pick your own crab meat at home.
- If you're using canned crab meat, be sure to rinse and drain it well before using.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. It should be cooked just until it's heated through, or it will become tough.
- Be careful not to overmix the crab mixture. You want it to be combined well, but you don't want to turn it into a mush.
- If you're making the crab cakes ahead of time, you can refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before cooking.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
