Place one refrigerated live lobster with its tail tucked under its body and overlap the claws to fit inside the Microwave Lobster Steamer. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water, and then seal the steamer, making sure all of the lobster is inside. Set the microwave on full power and time for weight of lobster. Please note that the recommended cooking times below are based on using a 1000 watt microwave at full power.
Microwaves vary in wattage.
Adjust your cooking time according to the wattage of you microwave. Make sure steamer remains closed while cooking. Let the lobster sitting unopened in the steamer for an additional 1 minute after microwave cooking to allow the hot steam to settle. This is a very important step to insure superior eating quality. To prevent burns, remove the steamer wearing hand mitts from the microwave and set it on a heat-resistant surface to sit.
