Lobster Cooking Times. Steam a lobster for 10 minutes for the first pound. Add 6 minutes for each additional pound thereafter. For example, a 2 pound lobster should steam for 16 to 18 minutes and a 1 1/4 pound lobster should steam for 12 to 13 minutes. Boil a lobster for 10 minutes, for the first pound. Add 3 minutes for each additional pound thereafter. For example, a 2 pound lobster should boil for 13 minutes and a 1 1/4 pound lobster should boil for 11 minutes. Note: Cooking times are reduced by 3 minutes for soft shells.
In a minute or two, the lobster will fold its claws over its head and curl its tail. It's out. Now toss it into the pot of boiling, salted water (enough to cover the lobsters). Cover the pot. When the water returns to boiling, cook one-pound lobsters for 10 minutes, adding three minutes for every additional pound.
