Have you ever wanted to cook your own live lobster but hesitated because you weren’t sure how? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this step-by-step video guide, we will walk you through the process of cooking a live lobster, so you can enjoy a delicious seafood feast in the comfort of your own home. Let’s get started!

What You Will Need

Before we begin, here’s a list of essential items you’ll need for the lobster cooking process:

  • A live lobster (around 1-1.5 pounds for best results)
  • A large pot with a tight-fitting lid
  • Water
  • Sea salt
  • Ice
  • Tongs or a sturdy pair of kitchen gloves
  • A cooking thermometer

Step 1: Preparation

Fill the pot with water, leaving enough room for the lobster to comfortably fit. For every quart of water, add about 1/4 cup of sea salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil and then add a handful of ice cubes to lower the temperature slightly. This step helps to create a more humane cooking environment for the lobster.

Step 2: Preparing the Lobster

Carefully pick up the live lobster and hold it upside down. Locate the rubber bands around its claws and remove them using your hands or a pair of kitchen scissors. Be cautious as the lobster’s claws can be quite strong. Once the bands are removed, the lobster is ready to be cooked.

Step 3: Cooking Time

Using the tongs or kitchen gloves, place the live lobster into the pot, headfirst. Ensure the lid is tightly secured to maintain the temperature. The cooking time should be around 10-15 minutes for a 1-1.5 pound lobster. To ensure precise cooking, use a cooking thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the lobster reaches 140°F (60°C).

Step 4: Final Touches

Once the lobster is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot using the tongs or gloves. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before serving. You can enhance the flavor by serving the lobster with melted butter, lemon wedges, and your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!

Now that you have watched our step-by-step video guide, you can confidently cook your own live lobster. Impress your family and friends with your culinary skills and indulge in a delightful seafood experience. Happy cooking!
