The tail is tough and all your doing is chewing through it? Watch as I show you the secret to cooking succulent lobster every time.

When water has come to a boil, remove the rubber bands from the claws and put lobster into pot. Cover
*Count time is AFTER the water has come back to a reboil.
Cook a 1-lb Hard Shell for 10-12 minutes.
Cook a 1-lb. New Shell (Maine Lobster) for about 8 minutes.
Indictor that lobster is done is also when the lobster has risen to the top and is red in color and when the tail snaps back.
For serving chilled:
Place lobster in a ice cold salted water bath.
Keep in water and ice for about 10 minutes. Remove and store on its back until ready to serve.
