At Farm-2-Market, we know that lobster can be a potentially daunting dish to cook, especially when cooking it for the first time. Fortunately, our team has a step-by-step guide to perfectly cook a lobster every time. Five Steps to Cooking A Lobster: 1. You will need a pot, which is large enough to completely submerge the lobsters in water. It’s important to add enough salt to the water before adding the lobsters to bring out their natural flavor. Approximately ½ cup of salt per gallon of water. 2. Bring the water to a rolling boil before adding the lobsters. 3. Carefully remove the rubber bands from your live lobsters, and insert them into the boiling water, headfirst. Be careful to avoid dropping all of your lobsters in the water at one time. 4. Bring water back to a boil and cover for 10 minutes for the first pound of lobster, adding six minutes of cooking time for every additional pound. 5. Carefully remove lobsters with tongs and submerge them in a deep container of ice water with the legs facing upwards. Once you boil these delicious crustaceans, you can enjoy them in any lobster recipe!
