How do I Make a Lobster & Clam Bake With a Cooking Pot?
Clam and lobster bakes are a great way to enjoy seafood at large gatherings. Traditionally, they are done outdoors in a prepared fire pit, where the food is cooked on a bed of damp seaweed. Clam and lobster bakes can also be done indoors with the use of a large cooking pot if you do not have the yard or if the weather doesn't permit you to perform it outdoors. Does this Spark an idea?

Open the can of chicken broth and pour it into the pot. Pour in the white wine. The liquid should only be enough to fill the pot between a quarter to half full. Place the lobsters on top of the mussels. Put the halved corn on top of the lobsters and cover the pot with its lid. Place aluminum foil over the top of the lid to ensure that it is sealed tightly.
