Steaming meat?

I steam live crab rather than boiling it, and the difference in flavor is substantial. When you boil the crab or lobster you're essentially making a very very dilute seafood stock.

Pressure steaming is the only way to go, as far as steaming goes. Faster, less water, less runoff, less leaching of flavor. |

Most people just use a powder or lotion to kill 'em. |
