Lobster Boiling 101

Lobster Boiling 101

The trick to making a perfectly-boiled lobster is to carefully time how long it is in the water.  This is the technique my dad’s passed on to me for solid results:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Plunge the lobsters, head first, into the boiling water.
  3. Bring the water back to a boil (should take 3-5 minutes).
  4. Let the lobsters cook for exactly 15 minutes then immediately remove them from the water and serve.
  5. Serve with Lemon Butter Sauce.

This method is for lobsters up to two pounds.  For lobsters over two pounds, cook for 20 minutes.

Enjoy,
