Answer 2

boiling and steaming are both moist heat cooking methods but have differant applications..i,ve never steamed a lobster, i have boiled one..steaming is cooking with the steam from the water usually at an elevated level above the water,great for veggies..not sure if its the best way to cook a lobster,it will take a while,you would have to make sure that there is an airtight seal to cook something like a lobster that is dense and heavy..my opinion.. toss it in boiling water while its alive..thats the best way..

Answer 3

I always boil mine (crayfish), I have never steamed.

For freezing after the cooked cray's are cold I wrap them in newspaper.

They retain their freshness that way.
