How do you cook lobster?

Answer 1

Lobsters must be still live before you cook them. Put a heavy based deep pot or pan on the job 3/4 fill with water, bring to the boil. When water is boiling, drop the live lobsters into the water, removing any rubber bands that could have been placed on their claws. Cover pan and cook until the shell of the lobster turns a deep redish pink colour. Once cooked remove and allow to cool. Once cooled you must remove the lobsters intestinal track (as this will cause food poisoning if left in). The easiest way to achieve this is to split the lobster in half length ways. You will see the track as it is dark in colour. Remove it all including brain matter. Depending on the dish you can put the two halves of the lobster back and then make/serve with sauce.
