The Best Way to steam lobster in the instant pot

Hey there! Want to make some amazing lobster in your Instant Pot? It's actually super easy! Here's how to do it:

What You'll Need:

  • 1-2 lobster tails (or whole lobsters)
  • 1 cup water
  • Instant Pot trivet
  • Salt (about 1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  1. Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water
  3. Put the trivet (the metal rack) inside
  4. Place your lobster tails on the trivet
  5. Close the lid and set valve to 'sealing'
  6. Cook on High Pressure for:
    • 3-4 minutes for 4-6 oz tails
    • 5-6 minutes for 6-8 oz tails
    • 7-8 minutes for larger tails
  7. When done, quick release the pressure
  8. Take out your lobster and enjoy!
