BOILED LOBSTERS
There is truly no more magnificent feast than a lobster dinner, whether it's eaten at a lobster pound picnic table or on your very own deck. At Thurston's Pound in Bernard, Maine, you choose your lobsters from the tanks near the order window, and then they're boiled in clean seawater in a large propane-fired cooker. To replicate this at home, just be sure to add enough salt to the water to create the right balance of ocean-briny flavor. A mere swipe through melted butter, a squirt of lemon and that's all anyone needs. Heaven!

Steps:
- Fill a large stockpot about half full of water. Add the salt and bring to a boil. When the water has come to a rolling boil, plunge the lobsters headfirst into the pot. Clamp the lid back on tightly and return the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the lobsters for 12 to 18 minutes (hard-shell lobsters will take the longer time), until the shells turn bright red and the tail meat is firm and opaque when checked.
- Lift the lobsters out of the water with tongs and drain in a colander. Place underside up on a work surface and, grasping firmly, split the tails lengthwise with a large knife. Drain off the excess liquid. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

HOW TO BOIL LOBSTER TAILS, ACCORDING TO A CHEF | LIVESTRONG
From livestrong.com
- Boil Water (but Don't Add the Tails) Fill the stockpot with water. Add 1 tablespoon of Himalayan sea salt for every quart of water. Bring it to a boil.
- Clean the Lobster Tail Shells With a Damp Cloth. Before adding the tails to the pot, make sure they're clean. Do this while you wait for the water to boil.
- Devein the Lobster. This step is optional if it's already been done, Poon says. A lobster tail needs to be deveined before you can eat it. It may be deveined at the time of purchase.
- Boil the Lobster Tails for 5 Minutes. Once the water has reached a boil, it's time to add the lobster tails. Like pasta, the cooking time only begins once you've added the lobster to boiling water.
- Remove the Lobster Tails. When the lobster tails are thoroughly cooked, carefully remove them with a pair of tongs. Put them aside and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Season and Serve the Lobster Tails. Use a pair of sharp kitchen shears to cut the lobster tails down the middle. This exposes the edible meat in the tail.
