Preparation

Step 1

Choose a pot large enough to hold all the lobsters comfortably; do not crowd them. A 4- to 5- gallon pot can handle 6 to 8 pounds of lobsters.

Put 2 inches of seawater or salted water in the bottom of a large kettle.

Set steaming rack inside the pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

Add the live lobsters one at a time, cover pot, and start timing.

Halfway through, lift the lid (careful – the steam is hot) and shift the lobsters around so they cook evenly.
