Stage 3 - 4 min.

Stage 5 - 10 min.
Shape into thick cakes with your hands or, for a more regular shape, use a cutter and a tablespoon.
Stage 6 - 30 min.

Stage 7 - 1 min.
Pour 6 tablespoons oil into a frying pan on medium heat. When hot, gently lower in 2 crab cakes.
Stage 8 - 10 min.
Fry the crab cakes on both sides until nicely browned.
