You do not need to boil it for long. The longer it boils the tougher it gets. You need only boil the lobster for a few minutes. When the color is bright red. No longer than 5 minutes for 1 lobster.

Is there a difference between steaming and boiling a live lobster?
No, there is no difference in the process used. However, it isn't advisable to cook dead lobster unless you killed it immediately before putting it in the pot. Whole lobster spoil quickly which is why they are stored alive before cooking. As for whether it's humane to put a lobster in boiling water, their death is just a quick as any other form of death so I believe it's as humane as you will get short of letting the lobster live.

How do you cook lobster?
Lobsters must be still live before you cook them. Put a heavy based deep pot or pan on the job 3/4 fill with water, bring to the boil. When water is boiling, drop the live lobsters into the water, removing any rubber bands that could have been placed on their claws. Cover pan and cook until the shell of the lobster turns a deep redish pink colour. Once cooked remove and allow to cool. Once cooled you must remove the lobsters intestinal track (as this will cause food poisoning if left in). The easiest way to achieve this is to split the lobster in half length ways. You will see the track as it is dark in colour. Remove it all including brain matter. Depending on the dish you can put the two halves of the lobster back and then make/serve with sauce.
