Thanks!!!How long do you cook a lobster?
If boiling, 8 minutes for the first pound, 3 minutes for each extra pound. Steaming takes longer. 15 minutes for 1 pound.How long do you cook a lobster?
Boil the lobsters by filling a large pot with water.


Add enough salt to get the same salinity as Ocean water.


I prefer steaming them using Salty water


Bring water to a full boil.


Put the lobsters into the pot completely submerged (except if you steam them. I that case, I put approximately 1.5 inches of salt water), and cover. Make sure the cover is air tight and keep the water boiling and time it.


Cook the lobster for approximately 8 minutes, depending on the weight of the lobster. Typically, a lobster that is 1 to 1.25 lbs will take about 5-8 minutes to cook. Lobsters above 1.25 lbs can take up to 10 minutes to cook through.


Allow the lobster to cool completely
