Steamed Lobster

Ingredients

* 4 lobsters (at least 1-1/4 lbs each)
* 1 tbsp salt (better still, use seawater)
* Melted butter and/or lemon wedges



Cooking Instructions

Have ready:

Fill the bottom of a pot large enough to hold the lobsters with a good inch of water. Add:

Cover and bring to a boil. Add the lobsters and cover. Cook 1-1/2-pound lobsters for about 15 minutes, until they are bright red. Add 2 to 3 minutes for every 1/4 lb increase in weight; that is, steam 2-pound lobsters for 20 minutes, 2-1/2-pound lobsters for 25. (All of this assumes that the water continues to boil as you add lobsters; if you are cooking more lobsters or you leave the lid off for more than 30 seconds or so, add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.)
