Question: how long does it take to cook a maine lobster?
Answer: Steam the lobster for 14 minutes for the first lb of weight and then an extra 3 minutes for each extra lb. A 2 lb lobster will cook in 17 minutes, a 3 lb in 20 minutes. Once the lobster is done, drain immediately and serve. You better have some melted butter on the side for dipping, or else we will not be eating over!
