Can anybody give me hints on how to make really good lobster? I've never made it before. So I did not know if you had to take certain steps or not. also is there anybody out there who can say they actually dont like lobster?

Are you going to cook a live or frozen lobster. Get a live one preferably 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs.
Once you get home have a deep pot w/ lid, big enough to have the water cover the lobster (stock pot).
Fill with water and bring to a boil (DO NOT put the lobster in until the water has come to a boil)
Place the lobster head first into the boiling water and have lid handy, quickly put the lid on and let the water come back to a boil.
once at a boil again reduce the heat to medium, and boil for 5 min for the first pound and 3 min for each additional pound.
Remove once time is up and place lobster on paper towels
Heat up some butter (not margerine) either in the microwave or on the stove.
Sit down and enjoy your lobster, dip the meat in the butter (awesome treat)
You can also use some lemon, but a little goes a long way.
