BOILED LOBSTERS
There is truly no more magnificent feast than a lobster dinner, whether it's eaten at a lobster pound picnic table or on your very own deck. At Thurston's Pound in Bernard, Maine, you choose your lobsters from the tanks near the order window, and then they're boiled in clean seawater in a large propane-fired cooker. To replicate this at home, just be sure to add enough salt to the water to create the right balance of ocean-briny flavor. A mere swipe through melted butter, a squirt of lemon and that's all anyone needs. Heaven!

Steps:
- Fill a large stockpot about half full of water. Add the salt and bring to a boil. When the water has come to a rolling boil, plunge the lobsters headfirst into the pot. Clamp the lid back on tightly and return the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the lobsters for 12 to 18 minutes (hard-shell lobsters will take the longer time), until the shells turn bright red and the tail meat is firm and opaque when checked.
- Lift the lobsters out of the water with tongs and drain in a colander. Place underside up on a work surface and, grasping firmly, split the tails lengthwise with a large knife. Drain off the excess liquid. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

- Fill a large pot about half full of water. Enough that when the lobsters are put in the pot that they will be fully covered by the water. Add vinegar.Once boiling, place each lobster, headfirst, into the boiling water and cook until they turn bright red. For 1 ¼ to 1 ½ pound lobster it will take about 10 minutes. Plan on 3 additional minutes for each pound over that.Use heavy, strong tongs to remove the lobster from the water. If using the meat for a recipe like lobster rolls then you want to put the lobster in an ice bath to stop the cooking. A cooler is a great way to make the ice bath. If cracking and eating the lobster right away, then you can skip the ice bath.
- Once cool enough to handle, grab the body of the lobster with one hand and the tail with the other and twist to separate.Do the same thing with the knuckles and claws.
- Place a lobster on a large plate for each diner, along with a little hammer or crab mallet and some melted butter to dip the lobster meat in. You'll also need a platter between you to discard the shells.Enjoy!
