If you are cooking a lot of lobsters you'll either need to cook them in stages or have more than one pot of water boiling. 1 Fill a large pot 3/4 full of water. Add 2 Tbsp of salt for every quart of water. The water should be salty like sea water (in fact you can use clean sea water if you have it).
