| Boiling |
Fill a large pot approximately three-quarters full of seawater or salted water (2 T of salt per quart of water). Use about 2½ quarts of water for each lobster. Bring the water to a boil. Put in the live lobsters, one at a time, cover and bring the water to a boil again. Then, lower the heat and simmer about 15 minutes for a 1- to 1¼-pound hard-shell lobster and 20 minutes for a 1½-pound hard-shell lobster. If soft shell lobsters, reduce the cooking time by 3 minutes. Lobsters will turn bright red when cooked.
Steaming
Use seawater or salted water. In a large pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Drop in the live lobsters, one at a time. Leaving rubber bands on is optional. Cover and return to a boil as quickly as possible. When water returns to a boil, cook approximately 18 minutes for a 1- to 1¼-pound hard-shell lobster and 20 minutes for a 1½-pound hard-shell lobster. If the lobster has a soft shell, reduce the cooking time by 3 minutes. Lobsters will turn bright red when cooked.
