how long do u steam lobster

[shrimpman steve]

just bought 3 lobsters from shopright 4.99 a pound. how long should i steam them for

[sportfishingusa]

until its cooked :D :D :D :D

[shrimpman steve]

just looked up on the interweb:D

10 min. a pound.

Can''t wait!

and for all you peta people, yes I am cooking them alive:eek:

[LeftyReeler]

When you hear them stop screaming they are ready!!! :D

Seriously though put about 2 inches of beer in the bottom of a pot, some butter and a little OLD Bay. Turn it up hot and drop them clawed wonders right in. Keep the lid on but leave room for some air to puff out. Once the water starts boiling and they are starting to steam the shell turns bright red cook for about 2 minutes after that and they will be ready. DONT OVER COOK...Shoe leather tastes like sh*t.:cool:

[Duffman]

10 minutes for the first pound, then 2 minutes for each addtional pound.

ie: a 1 1/2 lb lobster takes 14 minutes.

Googled the info a month ago when I steamed afew and they came out perfect.

[Gerry Zagorski]

thanks for the cooking advice, but they didn't last that long:D

they were fantastic! threw some clams and corn in the pot with them and had a nice shellfish dinner. The rabbi would not be happy:eek:

[JoeLongo]

Great deal, I will be in that area tomorrow. If anyone knows anything before then let me know so I dont make the trip for nothing.

[broken bobber]

Bummer.... sale ended this week...... price back to 4.99/lb ... :(

[RussH]

Still not bad considering what you pay in a restaurant for a decent lobster. Also steve how friggen big is your steamer pot? I'd be lucky to fit 1 lobster and a half dozen little necks in the setup I have. But I'm talking double boiler, did you just drop those badboys in a big pot with a little water at the bottom?

I try to stay away from "Crabs" too! hahah

[shrimpman steve]

make sure the water is well salted. put em on a rack in the pot and steam away. By the way 4.99 is still a great deal. belford is to far for me to go and bye lobster. shop right id usually 8.99 a pound, I was happy to pay 4.99.
