Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Louisiana may have their crawfish boils, but a proper New England lobster boil is one of a kind. Corn and potatoes thrown in for accompaniment help make it a real feast.

4 medium potatoes, washed and quartered
2 tablespoons salt
4 ears fresh corn, husked
4 live Maine lobsters (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
Fill a 12-quart stockpot with 2 inches of water; add the potatoes and salt and bring to a rapid boil over high heat; continue boiling for 10 minutes.
Add the corn and lobsters, then cover and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the lobsters are bright red and the corn and potatoes are tender. Remove from the pot and serve.
