Quick Tips
Lobster tails can take anywhere from 8-20 minutes to bake. It truly depends on the size of the lobster and the oven temperature. Preheating oven at 350°F I cook my lobster tails as follows:
Small (4-6 oz) 8-12 minutes
Medium ( 6-8 oz) 12-15 minutes
Large (8-10 oz) 15-20 minutes
Shell should be a orange color, lobster meat should be succulent not rubbery or hard like a steak. Then it's over cooked. internal temperature should be 140°F.
