Lobster may be considered a delicacy, but it's a cinch to prepare. When you visit the fish market, don't be surprised at the crustacean's black or bluish-brown color; the familiar bright-red hue comes only with cooking.

Cook's Notes

If your lobsters are larger than one and a half pounds, add one to two minutes per quarter pound to the cooking time. Let cooked lobsters stand until cool enough to handle, six to eight minutes.
