if you put them in a cold pot of water and bring it up to a boil, the meat will be more tender

It turns red. Probably about 5 minutes. There may be some white stuff coming out of the lobster... totally normal.

If you throw a beer in it while cooking its yummy

BTW - If you get a lobster that has barnacles on it the better... that means the lobster hasnt shed its shell in a while and you get more meat.

I just throw them in a pot of boiling water. You can even just fill the pot 1/4 of the way full and keep the lid on. Steaming them is good!

We like to steam them.

Put about 2-3 inches of salted water in a large pot, bring to a rolling boil. Add lobsters, largest first. Cover and start timing when the water comes back to a boil. 1 to 1 1/4 lb lobsters should take about 15-18 minutes, 1 1/2 lb 18-20. When they are done, the lobs are bright red and the antennae come off easily.

I put them in the freezer for an hour or so before steaming, it's supposed to 'relax' them (like when they are in the ocean in the winter).

Enjoy!

P.S. Let me know if you want to know how to make your lobster do a headstand
