I just won a 13 lb. lobster. How long should I cook (boil?) it for? Answer fast please, before it dies!Help how to cook giant lobster?
This recipe says 12, 1.5 lb lobsters so maybe it will work
BOILED MAINE LOBSTER
Serves 12
2 medium white onions, sliced into 1-inch rounds
2 large carrots, cut into thirds
2 stalks celery, cut into thirds
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 large bay leaf
1 bottle dry white wine
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Salt
12 live lobsters, about 1 1/2 pounds each, shedders if available
1 pound butter, melted
6 lemons, halved
Place onions, carrots, and celery in a large stockpot. Make a
bouquet garni: Gather thyme, parsley, and bay leaf; tie into a
bundle with kitchen string, then add to the stockpot. Fill stockpot
two-thirds full with cold water; set over high heat. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat, and let simmer about 30 minutes. Add white wine
and peppercorns; simmer about 15 minutes more. Return to a boil.
Depending on size of stockpot, quickly add 4 to 6 lobsters to
boiling court-bouillon, making sure the liquid covers all the
lobsters. Allow court-bouillon to return to a boil again, and cook
lobsters about 12 minutes. Using tongs, remove lobsters, and
transfer to a platter or large bowl. Repeat with remaining lobsters,
working in batches if necessary. Using kitchen scissors, trim the
tip of each lobster claw; allow the liquid to drain, and discard.

Oh come on, put it in a bucket of water and let it live.
get a giant pot fill it with water bring to boil then toss live lobster in till it turns red which should be in a matter of minutes about 5 to 7...enjoy
You'll have to kill it and dismember it. Have your pot of boiling water ready, because you'll have to put the pieces of him in there immediately. While he's a'cooking, prepare your clarified butter for dipping and have your mom/wife/girlfriend prepare the cole slaw and garlic toast to go with...and give the lady the biggest claw!
I suggest you steam the lobster rather then boil because it would need a rather large pot and that would take the water forever to heat up. I would steam it for a minimum of 30 minutes then check to see if its done.
How Do I Know When The Lobster Is Cooked?
* Lobsters will turn their characteristic bright red color well before the meat is thoroughly cooked inside. Follow these easy tips to ensure that the lobster is cooked:
* Tug on an antennae or pull off one of the small walking legs. They both will come off easily when the lobster is done.
* The meat inside the lobster will be firm, white and opaque The tomalley, which fills much of the body cavity will be greenish-yellow.
* The roe in female lobsters will be bright orange-red and firm. If it is a dark greenish-black, with an oily tar-like consistency, the lobster is under cooked.
* The internal temperature will be 180oF (80oC)
