Content: It is important to shift the lobster so they all cook evenly. If necessary, you may add a little more water but no more salt is required. The most important step for all lobster chefs is determining when the lobsters are done. The first rule, do not to overcook the lobster. A lobster shell will be bright red when fully cooked and the meat white. So what’s the best way to tell when the lobsters are done? Cooking Jumbo Maine Lobster Requires Careful Attention
Care must be taken with large lobster as they will be red but they may not be fully cooked. And a lobster in the top of the pot may not have cooked as fast as one at the bottom. One popular practice is to give one of the lobster antennae a good pull while the lobster is still in the steamer pot. If the antenna pops off, it is a good sign the lobster is done.
