    So I am always confused on one part. If I have two lobsters at 1.5 lbs or so, would it still be like 14 min or 28?

  2. Careless_Language_21

    Should kill it first before boiling

  3. Treacle_Pendulum

    Steaming works better than boiling I think

    Take the elastics off. Salt the water like crazy and you might be doing it correctly.

    Just how I like my lobsters, overcooked and boiled with the rubber bands still on.

    Is it served cold?

    If I wanted to have warm lobster could I pull it out a little earlier and let it sit to finish cooking, like a steak?

    Song is It’s Getting Old by Cottonwood Firing Squad. This is the first time I’ve heard one of their songs in anything but holy crap they’re an amazing band (pretty sure it’s just a single guy but idk could be wrong)

    Bro, have the decency to stab the ganglia first.

    Learned from a classically trained chef that if you have the time (or are doing lots of other prep) you can just boil water and pour it over the lobster in a glass bowl or in a pot and wait for it to get room temperature and it will be cooked perfectly and the meat will slip right out

    Bands in america don’t break down at boiling temps. Canadian bands often do.

    7mins for 1lb, 10mins for 2lb. You don’t double the time for 2 lobsters. It’s the same cook time, just account for the temp dropping more.

    Stabbing lobsters is fine if you don’t care about juices and tamale but there’s no real reason to suggest it improves quality or is more humane. Lobsters have a nervous system throughout their whole body and no central brain to kill. No matter where you stab them, you’re just stabbing them in nerve endings. Not killing all sensation for them like you might with a fish.

    You can chill them and cut them fully in half to sever the nerves but it’s no good for boiling.

    Also stab them behind the head first so muscle doesn’t tense up when it hits boiling water

    Oh for gods sake its unecessary to boil lobsters alive, remove the bands because that can taint the flavour of the pincer meat and steam them instead of boiling. If your going to boil at least salt the water to retain the naturally salty flavour of the meat.
