This is my method for steaming whole live lobsters.
Fill pot with 1 inch of water and add 2 tbs. of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Add lobster one at a time, head first. Cover the pot.
Steam 7 minutes for 1-1/4 lb.
and 10 minutes for 1-1/2 to 2 lb. lobsters.
Regulate the heat if the froth starts to bubble over.
Lobsters are done when the outer shell is bright red,
when the meat is white,
and when the 2 front antennae pull out easily.
DO NOT overcook.
