These can be as small as 2 to 3 ounces or as large as a pound in weight, depending on the species and origin of the lobster itself. If you're working from a recipe and purchased the specified size of tails, you can simply follow the recipe's instructions. Otherwise, the usual rule of thumb for lobster tails is one minute of boiling time for every ounce. Four-ounce tails, then, should boil for four minutes, while 10-ounce tails will require 10 minutes. The Single-Tail Guideline
The best cooking way is to steam cook them. Steaming them will curl the tails, so before steaming, you. can run a wooden skewer through them to prevent that from happening if you want. Use 1 quart or 4-5 cups of water and bring water to a full boil. Place up to 4 average size tails in top steam colander and cover the pot. Lobster will turn red and the flesh becomes white. Allow to steam 1-1/2 minutes per ounce. Once heated, take the steam colander to the sink and run cold water over them which stop the cooking process and allow you to rinse-wash the tails.
