BOILED LOBSTERS
There is truly no more magnificent feast than a lobster dinner, whether it's eaten at a lobster pound picnic table or on your very own deck. At Thurston's Pound in Bernard, Maine, you choose your lobsters from the tanks near the order window, and then they're boiled in clean seawater in a large propane-fired cooker. To replicate this at home, just be sure to add enough salt to the water to create the right balance of ocean-briny flavor. A mere swipe through melted butter, a squirt of lemon and that's all anyone needs. Heaven!

Steps:
- Fill a large stockpot about half full of water. Add the salt and bring to a boil. When the water has come to a rolling boil, plunge the lobsters headfirst into the pot. Clamp the lid back on tightly and return the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the lobsters for 12 to 18 minutes (hard-shell lobsters will take the longer time), until the shells turn bright red and the tail meat is firm and opaque when checked.
- Lift the lobsters out of the water with tongs and drain in a colander. Place underside up on a work surface and, grasping firmly, split the tails lengthwise with a large knife. Drain off the excess liquid. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

BOILED OR STEAMED LOBSTERS
Lobster may be considered a delicacy, but it's a cinch to prepare. When you visit the fish market, don't be surprised at the crustacean's black or bluish-brown color; the familiar bright-red hue comes only with cooking.

5 MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN COOKING LOBSTER: COOKING TIPS ...
From newengland.com
- Overseasoning the Water. When boiling lobster, you need to add some salt to the water to boost the flavor. But don’t overdo it. Too much salt in the cooking water can overwhelm the meat’s natural sweetness.
- Crowding the Pot. In order to cook lobsters as quickly and efficiently as possible, you need a very large pot, which will allow the heat to circulate evenly around them.
- Cooking in the Wrong Order. If you’re making the classic lobster dinner combo of lobster, mussels, clams, corn, and potatoes, be sure to do the vegetables first.

- To cook lobster: Fill a lobster pot, stockpot or canning pot about three-quarters full with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Leaving rubber bands on the claws and wearing a thick glove, grasp one lobster at a time around the body and add to the water, claws first. When all the lobsters are in, cover the pot and start timing--don't wait for the water to return to a boil. Cook 8 minutes for a 1-pound lobster. For larger lobsters, add 2 more minutes for each 1/4 pound. Remove the lobsters to a colander; let excess water drain before transferring to a serving plate.
- To shell lobsters: Grasp a claw near the body. With a firm twist, remove from the body. Repeat with the second claw. Crack through the claw shell using a lobster cracker or kitchen shears. Remove the meat with a small fork. Hold the body in one hand and firmly grasp the tail in the other; twist and gently pull the tail from the body. (Discard the body.) The green/gray "goop" on the tail meat is called tomalley. Technically edible (and delicious to some), it functions as a filter and accumulates contaminants from the ocean--it's best to skip eating it. Cut through the underside of the tail shell with kitchen shears or use lobster crackers to crack the shell. Remove the meat from the shell with a fork. (One 1-pound lobster yields about 1 cup, or 4.5 ounces, cooked meat.)

CHEF THOMAS KELLER’S CLASSIC LOBSTER BOIL RECIPE - 2022 ...
From masterclass.com
- 1. Make the bouquet garni by stacking the leek leaves and enveloping them around the Italian parsley stems, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Cut a length of kitchen twine using kitchen scissors or a paring knife. Wrap the twine twice around one end of the leek bundle, twice around the other end, and tie a slipknot in the center.
- 2. Add the potatoes and onions to a large stockpot fitted with its insert and filled with cold water. Place the stockpot on a robust burner over high heat.
- 3. As the water begins to boil, add the Old Bay seasoning. Squeeze the juice of the lemons into the pot, and then add the lemons themselves. Add the bouquet garni, garlic halves, and a generous amount of salt—enough, as Chef Keller says, to make the water as salty as the sea. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.
