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.
