To steam live lobster: Fill pot so that water comes up sides about two inches. Add 2 tablespoons of salt for each quart of water. If you have sea salt-even better. Bring the water to a rolling boil, add seaweed to keep the lobsters out of the water, and put in lobsters, one at a time. I prefer to use seaweed to a steam rack, (Feel free to use a steaming rack to place the lobsters on or just add directly to the pot.) Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Steam a lobster for 10 minutes for the first pound. Add 6 minutes for each additional pound thereafter. For example, a 2 pound lobster should steam for 16 to 18 minutes and a 1 1/4 pound lobster should steam for 12 to 13 minutes. Boil a lobster for 10 minutes, for the first pound. Add 3 minutes for each additional pound thereafter. For example, a 2 pound lobster should boil for 13 minutes and a 1 1/4 pound lobster should boil for 11 minutes. Note: Cooking times are reduced by 3 minutes for soft shells.
