Answers:
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!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

large pan like a 16 quart stock pot
live bugs
bring water to the boil
you can add old bay for seasoning if you wish or not
drop in your bugs, about 3 -4 quarts
put the lid on
cook then till they turn bright red and remove
cool and crack and eat or freezeWww@FoodAQ@Com

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!.
