Your overcooking if they are bending....shorten boiling time. Good Luck
they are precooked, so most likely, they will bend. the best way to cook crabe legs when they are fresh is to boil them until they become pinkish red.
you will never find "raw" crab legs, they are always cooked and frozen when you buy them. The most important thing is not to over cook the crab legs. If you boil them it only takes two minutes. Bring water to a boil, add crab, cook for two minutes, done.

mmmm .... old bay ....
just boil them in water then use a nut cracker to open them just as you would do a lobster.
The only way i've ever heard of crab legs being cooked is by boiling them, but there could be other ways. I've alwyas used metal nutcrackers to crack the shell apart.
i always make crab curry or black peppered crab with fresh crabs. i have tried with frozen uncooked crabs too. so far they have never bend. i use a kitchen knife & crack the legs a little (just a few hair line crack will do!) first before adding them into the curry/gravy. i don't preboil or anything. when the curry/gravy is almost done i add in the crabs & let them all boil up for about 5-10min depending on the size & quantity of yr crab. hope this helps & happy eating =)
