How to Boil a Lobster,This may be helpful for those who are not familiar with how to cook a lobster.,Rather than all water to steam the lobster(s), I pour 1 cup of white wine (dry) to 2 cups of water. Put lobster(s) in head first so they pass out before hitting the steam. They don’t scream this way. I also usually put a rosemary spring or 3 in the pot. Cover and steam any where from 15 – 20 min. for 2 lb. crustaceans. Be careful when taking the lobster(s) out of the stock pot as they will be HOT. use a very sharp knife to slit down the body of the lobster(s) and pull the body apart. There will be sweet white flesh. I pull the tail off. I usually also suck the tail fins as there will be meat there too. I pull off the fingers and bite down on a section sort of pushing the meat out of the finger. I put off the claws, cracking them at the joint after being pulled off. I save them for last as they are the sweetest part of the lobster. I serve with (un)salted melted butter and to make life easier, squeeze a lemon into the butter. We annually have a lobster bash and I’ve never had anyone complain. Do not use salted butter, as it melts, it gets exceedingly salty.,Thanks for giving time tables! Note: Some people like the tomalley(sp) I won’t even try it myself! Also on larger lobsters when you pull off the small legs there is meat in the cavity that remains and also on large lobsters there is meat in the end of the tail. the several “fan” parts. Don’t forget those! I usually boil lobsters, 12-15 min from a full boil and drained. Steamed are great though!
