How to steam lobster
1.
Add 2 inches (50 ml) of salted water to a large stock pot. Fit a steam rack into the bottom. Cover and bring to a boil.
2.
Add the lobsters one at a time, and be sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cover, and cook according to the time chart below.
3.
Like most seafood, it’s preferred that you undercook lobsters a little and let them rest a few minutes before serving. Seafood will continue to cook after being removed from the heat.
BENEFITS: More tender meat, harder to overcook.
