How To make Steamed Lobster
1/2 c Water
1/2 t Salt
1 Lemon, sliced
2 1.5-lb live lobsters, pegged
1. In a deep, 3-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole
place water, salt and lemon. 2. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 3 minutes or until water boils.
3. Place live lobsters, head first, into boiling water: this will
render them immobile. 4. Heat, covered, in Microwave Oven 12 minutes.
5. Let stand, covered, 4 minutes to finish cooking.
6. Drain. With a sharp, heavy knife, split tail. If meat is still
translucent in center, heat, covered, about 1 minute longer or until meat is opaque. Continue to cut up the center towards the head. Remove the stomach and the intestinal tract. The green liver and the red roe are considered to be delicacies.

There are plenty of different ways to cook and enjoy a fresh, live lobster. In this video we show you how to easily steam one. When you are purchasing a live lobster you want to make sure they are full of energy and look healthy. You ideally want to eat them the same day you purchase them, but they can be kept alive for about a day in your refrigerator with a damp towel over them. Don't ever submerge your lobsters in water because fresh water will kill them. There are a lot of different ways to kill your lobster and while cutting down through the eyes is considered the most humane way to kill them, we doubt most people will do it. We, and plenty of restaurants, don't use this technique and simply throw their lobsters straight into the boiling water while they're alive. It sounds morbid, but its part of the food chain (thank goodness we are at the top of it). So here's how to steam a live lobster.
