How Long Should Lobsters Be Boiled?
Lobsters should be boiled for about 8-10 minutes for a 1-2 pound lobster, and an additional 2-3 minutes for each additional pound. It is important to keep an eye on the lobster to avoid overcooking, as this can result in tough meat. Once the shell turns bright red and the meat is opaque, the lobster is fully cooked and ready to enjoy.
