"Cooking live lobster is fairly simple and not a complicated task at all. The one main detail is to make sure that the live lobster is fresh - there should be no odor to the lobster and the eyes should be clear - there should be no film or haze in the eyes.There are two easy methods to cooking live lobster. Boiling the live lobster in water is the easiest method. All you need are the lobsters and
. a large stockpot - it has to be big enough to hold enough water to cover the lobsters. Add about 1/4 cup of sea salt per gallon of water inside the stockpot and add a little lemon juice to the water for taste as well. Cook the lobster - timing should be about 3 min per pound. Steaming lobster is common as well. You will need a large pot that is capable of holding the lobsters and has a snug lid to prevent the steam from escaping. Put about 2 inches of water and a teaspoon of sea salt into the pot. Add the steaming rack, then bring the water to a hard boil. Remove the rubber bands off claws, cover the pot and start timing the cooking time - about 10 minutes for the first pound, then about 8 min for each additional pound of weight."
