How to Steam Lobster

Steps

1. Find a pot with a steaming rack that is large enough to hold the lobsters comfortably. A 4-5 gallon pot should work for about 8 pounds of lobster. Fill the pot with about 2-inches of water. Add sea salt to the water and bring the water to a boil.

2. Put your live lobsters onto the steamer rack and place the lid on top. It should take 12 to 15 minutes to cook the lobsters through (12 minutes for 1.5-pound lobster and 15 for one that is closer to 2 pounds). It's easiest if all of your lobsters are roughly the same size!

3. Remove lobsters to a platter to cool. Serve with melted butter and lemon slices.
