1. |
Bring a large pot filled with
water deep enough to submerge the lobster by about 3 inches
to a strong boil.
|
2. |
Place lobsters head first into
the pot, completely submerging them.
|
3. |
Cover the pot tightly and return
to a boil as quickly as possible. When water boils, begin
counting the time. Regulate the heat to prevent water
from boiling over, but be sure to keep the liquid boiling
throughout the cooking time.
|
4. |
Boil lobster for 10 minutes
per pound, for the first pound. Add 3 minutes per pound
for each additional pound thereafter. For example, a 2-pound
lobster should boil for l3 minutes and a 1 ½-pound
lobster should boil for 1l ½ minutes.
|
5. |
Lobsters are done when the
outer shell is bright red, when the meat is white, or
when the two front antennae pull out easily. Do not overcook.
