How to pick my lobster? Look for ones that are lively, with claws of fairly equal size and antennae attached. How do you know when the lobsters are done? Cook them for the recommended time, about 13 minutes for 1 1/4 pounds, with an additional 2 minutes for every additional 1/4 pound up to 2 1/2 pounds. ( Anything bigger is too large for my home-freezer and stove top.) The lobster shell will turn from blueish-green to bright red once steamed. Try tugging on one of the long antennae. If it easily releases, the lobster should be done. If you’re concerned, crack open one of the lobsters and make sure the meat has gone from translucent to white with red markings. Advertisement
