Ingredients:- 1/4 lb. of salt to each gallon of water.
Mode:- Medium-sized lobsters are the best. Have ready a stewpan of boiling water, salted
in the above proportion; put in the lobster, and keep it boiling quickly from 20 minutes
to 3/4 hour, according to its size, and do not forget to skim well. If it boils too long,
the meat becomes thready, and if not done enough, the spawn is not red: this must be
obviated by great attention. Hub the shell over with a little butter or sweet oil, which
wipe off again.
Time. Small lobster, 20 minutes to 1/2 hour; large ditto, 1/2 to 1/3 hour.
