How Do I Know When A Lobster Tail Is Done?
One way to know when a lobster tail is done is to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When the temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), the lobster is cooked through. Another method is to visually check the color of the lobster meat. When fully cooked, the meat turns white and opaque, and the shell turns bright red. Lastly, when you insert a fork into the thickest part of the tail and twist it, if the meat pulls away easily from the shell, it indicates that the lobster is done.
