Defrost in the fridge overnight or for a minimum of 12 hours. To cook your lobster place them headfirst into a large pan of lightly salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes. You can also choose to steam your lobster for 7-10 minutes.

Your lobster will turn bright red however please note they may do this prior to the cook times above. Continue cooking for the stated times and don’t use the colouring as an indication of them being cooked.

To gain easy access to the delicious lobster meat, first, remove the claws and place them to one side. Then cut the lobster in half with a sharp knife from the head to the tail. Remove the tomalley from the head section in both halves of the lobster and clean this out. Rinse if required. Next, you can crack into the claw and knuckles of the lobster using a pair of nutcrackers or your knife. Be careful not to damage the claw meat and just crack the shell. Peel the shell away from the meat and pack the claw and knuckle meat into the cavity in the lobster halves.

You can now create a classic lobster thermidor, served in the shell. Or you can extract all the meat for some luxurious lobster rolls.
