How to Steam Garys Lobsters

---

Steaming lobster is by far the best way to cook my lobsters and keep them fresh sweet and succulent.  Start by placing about an inch and a half of water in your stockpot.  Add about a teaspoon of sea salt and bring the water to a boil.  Once boiling drop the lobsters in, cover and steam for 13 minutes. For those 2 plus pounders add another few minutes. You know they are done when the shells are red.  

If you plan to use them for meat in a recipe you need to stop them from cooking before they are cool enough to pick so either dunk in an ice water bath for a few minutes or quickly run under cold water so you can snap off the tail and claws to drain out the hot water.  Its much easier to pick the meat once its cooled a little.
