Boiling lobster is really just a game of minutes, not magic. Start a timer, trust your eyes, and pull them out the second the alarm goes off. If the shell is red and the antenna comes off easy, you’ve won. If not, you’ve only lost a few bucks and your dignity. But usually, you win.
So go ahead. Boil that sea bug. You’ve got this. And if everything goes wrong? Well, that’s what takeout is for. But I bet you’ll nail it on the first try. Just don’t forget the melted butter.
