Place lobsters in the pot (head first), cover tightly, return to a boil as quickly as possible and start counting the time. Steam a lobster for 8 minutes per pound, for the first pound. Add 3 minutes per pound for each additional pound thereafter. See chart below for approximate cooking times. Regulate the heat if the froth starts to bubble over.
Put one to two inches of water in the bottom of the pot to steam lobsters, or allow 21/2 quarts of water per lobster if you want to boil them. You don't have to use saltwater, but most people would agree that lobsters taste better if you add sea-salt to the water or use seawater, which contains 21/2 to 3 percent salt.
