Cooking Lobster
Cooking Instructions
Be sure the pot you use is large enough to easily accommodate and fully cover the lobster.
Lobsters should be cooked in salted fresh water. Use 4 tablespoons (50ml) of salt per 1 gallon (4 L) of fresh water.
Fill the pot with enough water to cover the lobster and bring to a boil.
Grasp the lobster firmly by the back, just behind the claws, and plunge headfirst into boiling water. Cover and bring water back to a boil and then begin timing.
Remove the bands from the claws.
Cooking Times
Small Lobster (1.25lbs) - 24 minutes
Medium Lobster (1.5lbs) - 25 minutes
Large Lobster (2lbs) - 27 minutes
Jumbo Lobster (2.5lbs) - 29 minutes
An antenna will easily pull free when the lobster is cooked. Drain lobster and serve hot.
If not being eaten right away, super chill the lobster in ice water for at least 30 minutes to stop the cooking process.
