Overcooked lobster is tough. Undercooked lobster is disappointing.
Here’s my 4 foolproof ways to know your lobster is cooked perfectly every single time:
✅ 1. Timing
Boil for approximately 10-12 minutes depending on size.
✅ 2. Colour Change
The shell transforms from dark green/brown to a beautiful bright orange-red.
✅ 3. Antenna Test
Give the antenna a gentle tug. If it pulls away easily, your lobster is likely cooked through.
✅ 4. Tail Curl Test
A cooked lobster tail naturally curls inward. Think of it as nature’s little signal that it’s ready to eat.
Perfect lobster isn’t about guessing. It’s about knowing what signs to look for.
