Cooking lobster can be a real treat! You generally start by boiling or steaming it. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then add the lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes for a one-pound lobster. Steaming takes a bit longer but results in tender meat. Have you cooked lobster before, or is this your first time trying? What kind of dish are you planning to create with it?
