Timing is everything when it comes to boiling lobster tails, as overcooking can result in a tough, rubbery texture - yuck! To avoid this, make sure to set a timer and keep an eye on the clock. You can also check for doneness by gently twisting the tail: if it comes off the shell easily, it's done!
Now, you might be thinking, "But what if I'm not sure if my lobster tail is cooked?" Don't worry, friend, it's easier than you think! Just check the color: a cooked lobster tail will be a beautiful white or light orange color, and the meat will be firm to the touch.
