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.

BOILED OR STEAMED LOBSTERS
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.

Steps:
- To boil: Fill a very large (4-gallon) stockpot three-quarters full with cold water. Bring to rolling boil; add salt. Plunge lobsters, one at a time, headfirst into the water. Cook, uncovered, 12 to 14 minutes (from the time lobsters enter pot).
- To steam: Fit a very large stockpot with a steaming basket (or use a round wire rack or an inverted metal colander). Fill pot with cold water just to reach bottom of basket. Cover; bring to a boil. Quickly set lobsters in one layer in pot (or cook in batches). Cook, covered, 15 to 17 minutes.

CHEF THOMAS KELLER’S CLASSIC LOBSTER BOIL RECIPE

- 1. Make the bouquet garni by stacking the leek leaves and enveloping them around the Italian parsley stems, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Cut a length of kitchen twine using kitchen scissors or a paring knife. Wrap the twine twice around one end of the leek bundle, twice around the other end, and tie a slipknot in the center.
- 2. Add the potatoes and onions to a large stockpot fitted with its insert and filled with cold water. Place the stockpot on a robust burner over high heat.
- 3. As the water begins to boil, add the Old Bay seasoning. Squeeze the juice of the lemons into the pot, and then add the lemons themselves. Add the bouquet garni, garlic halves, and a generous amount of salt—enough, as Chef Keller says, to make the water as salty as the sea. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.
- 4. Add the vinegar, which will help the proteins in the lobster and shrimp set and enhance the flavor of the dish. Add the Andouille sausage. Cover the pot and let the liquid simmer until the potatoes and onions are cooked through, or when the vegetables offer no resistance when pierced with a paring knife.
