To prepare a lobster, which needs to be alive, hold it firmly by the back, plunge it quickly, head first, into a kettle of rapidly boiling water, and afterwards immerse the remainder of the body. Be sure to have enough water to cover the lobster completely.
Boil rapidly for 5 minutes; then lower the flame or remove to a cooler part of the stove and cook gradually for 1/2 hour. Remove from the water and allow to cool.
After being prepared in this way, a lobster could be served cold or it could be used in the preparation of various meals. If it is to be used without further preparation, it is typically served from the shell, which is normally split open. Mayonnaise or some other sauce is normally served with lobster.
The flesh is removed from the shell with a small fork as it is consumed. Most of the recipes made from lobster need the flesh to be removed from the shell.
