I find that the best way to cook lobsters is to buy some fresh lobsters, then invite some friends who love to cook, then sit back drink some wine, and before you know it the lobsters are done.

I agree I always put my lobsters in the freezer for approximately 45 minutes and it numbs some so hopefully they don’t feel any pain when you cook them. We have to treat all creatures with respect.❤

I live in Louisiana . I went on vacation to Maine a few years ago. I hurt myself. I ate 3 3 pounders on the 1st day. I love lobster. It's definitely a lot more meat than these crawfish we eat. ❤

Getting lobsters in the mail is so hilarious to me 😂

Back in the 70s, most would put the lobsters in a bucket of wine or beer first and get them drunk before cooking. The meat was more tender that way.

I notice some of the comment saying murder, but If people don’t like watching lobsters getting boiled, then why are you watching it in the first place?

I'm the Bay of Funny, lobster trap water so glad to see you remove the bands before you cook very smart!

This is the fifth video I've watched in about 20 minutes and everyone has given different cooking times per pound of lobster. I guess you have to learn cooking time through trial and error.

Your telling me 50% of people can't toss a lobster in a pot? Seems pretty freaking simple 😂

[countalucard]

Is the time based on bringing the water back to a boil or just when you place them in the pot?

[russmaxcy]

Generally, only hard-shell lobsters are shipped in the mail.
Please note there are softshell ones, lobsters in the process of molting/shedding and take less time to cook.

[wkclshero]

do you start the time after the water returns to a boil ??

[donjohnson]

Keep that sweet smile . 😊 I'm cooking mine now. Thanks

[bassnut]

Does the cooking time start from when the water begins to boil again or from the time you put them in the pot? That could take a minute and half more. Why is nobody ever clear about that?

Hi, I need help! I have 17 people to make lobster for and a 100 qt pot. How many 1 1/4 lb. to 1 1/2 lb. lobsters should I put in the pot at a time??

[Communist-Doge]

It's a myth that freezing helps - it actually prolongs their suffering/pain. There's research that shows this.

[xtob]

Any recommendation on how big/brand of pot for boiling (4) 1.5 lb lobsters? Thanks! Getting ready to make an order from you guys now!

[Rambler]

LMAO, why is it people saying putting lobster in the freezer puts them to sleep, errrr WRONG. In fact they die slower from cold then being boiled.

[zalex]

Someone I absolutely adore.... is sending me three live ass lobsters in the mail 😂 I don’t have a single clue what is going on but I think I might be in love.

[percyjohnson]

should poke the end of the lobster where there is a hole to get rid of the pee and smell
