How do you cook a lobester?

Answer 1

You can boil it or steam it. To boil it, bring water in a large pot to a rolling boil and add about 1 tablespoon salt per quart of water. Put the lobsters in claws first and begin timing from the moment the water comes back to a boil.

To steam lobsters, cook them, covered, in a steamer basket above boiling water. They will need 1 to 2 minutes less, as the steam is hotter than boiling water.

For 1 pound: 5 minutes

1 1/8 pounds: 6 minutes

1 1/4 pounds: 8 minutes

1 1/2 to 2 pounds: 8 to 10 minutes

more than 2 pounds : 12 minutes You can boil it or steam it. To boil it, bring water in a large pot to a rolling boil and add about 1 tablespoon salt per quart of water. Put the lobsters in claws first and begin timing from the moment the water comes back to a boil.
