When it comes to cooking live lobster, or seafood in general, many people feel intimidated. I honestly think this is easier than a lot of dishes, and steamed lobster is no exception. Yes, steamed lobster might just be the easiest and most elegant dinner. If you've ever been to New England, eating lobster in the summer is a tradition and a staple. Or maybe even year round for a friend of mine who ate lobster every new year's eve for years until the party/mess got so big his dad had to clean the lobster off the wall. This is what happens when you have 20 crazy people eating lobster at your restaurant. Steaming is a gentler cooking technique that produces more tender meat. It retains more flavor and is more forgiving when it comes to timing. Steamed lobster is hard to overcook. Cooked lobsters will turn bright red, but this is not the best indicator of doneness, especially with large lobsters. When the crust turns red, they may still be undercooked. Jasper White recommends cooking the lobster for the recommended time and then opening the lobster where the carapace meets the tail. If done, the pulp will turn from translucent to white. Be sure to carefully remove the rubber bands from the lobster claws before steaming. There is no need to keep them on. Scissors or kitchen shears work best for this, so you don’t run the risk of getting a love bite. How to Steam Lobster? I can explain it in 10 seconds. Fill a large, lidded pot with 1 inch of water. Squeeze in juice of one lemon (for freshness), add salt, bring to boil, throw in lobster, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until lobsters are bright red. This recipe is ideal for 1.5-2-pound lobsters, which is the ideal size for the best tasting lobster. The secret element of this recipe is fresh lemon juice. It gives the lobster that subtle fresh flavor that goes so well with melted butter. You don’t need a steamer rack, only a pot large enough to comfortably fit all the lobsters you are steaming. If the lid fits, you’re in business. Happy cooking! and hope you enjoyed this video.
